讲座摘要：
The proliferation of so-called AI tools is disrupting different social spheres, with direct impact on the ways of doing and understanding research in academia. The widespread adoption of these technologies carries with it specific ways of representing, codifying and computing the social, as well as networks of knowledge-power that reposition universities in relations of denendency on large platforms. These processes run the risk of becoming black-boxed and configuring an epistemic ground, with effects on what is thinkable, sayable and true. This presentation outlines some preliminary findings from an action-research experience that seeks to prototype an AI platform oriented towards digital sovereignty, in a collaboration involving several research groups in the social and communication sciences.
