In the fourth episode of the series Luisa Conti and Fergal Lenehan, from the Centre for Digital Interculturality Studies, talk to Emilian Franco from the University of the Bundeswehr in Munich, where he is a lecturer and a PhD scholar. Emilian talked about his research dealing with the production of Artificial Intelligence in Brazil. The conversation touched on the landscape of Brazilian AI, how cultural anthropologists research Artificial Intelligence, the metaphors of ‘devouring’ and ‘eating’, and Emilian’s research experiences in Brazil.
