Dr Giota Alevizou
Programme Director, Digital Futures MA | Lecturer in Digital Humanities and Cultures
Giota has over 15 years' experience researching the influence that technologies have in producing paradigms, methods and genres that incentivise artificial and collaborative intelligence as well as collective action.
A strand of her research explores how innovation trajectories and materiality of global informational assemblages and social technologies affect the epistemology of media. This ranges from alternative & learning media, encyclopaedias and semantic media, to, more recently, LLMs and Creative AI platforms.
A former member of the Tate Gallery’s Tate Exchange, Giota regularly contributes to public engagement initiatives. She’s previously been an Open Democracy guest editor, advisory member at Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.
Her forthcoming book monograph, The web of knowledge: Encyclopedias in the digital age, is due to be published by Cambridge Polity.
