Anna Schjøtt Hansen
Anna has a background as a technological anthropologist and during her master’s degree in Denmark she became interested in the use and design of AI in the media sector – and particularly how qualitative decisions around AI are made during the processes of designing AI systems for media and the implications of these decisions. She explores these questions via different ethnographic projects, and have, among other, conducted fieldwork in the Media Museum in Amsterdam that uses AI in its exhibition and during the JournalismAI Academy for Small Newsrooms – a training programme for small newsrooms around the world on how to implement AI.
Before joining the University of Amsterdam, Anna completed her master’s degree in Techno-Anthropology at Aalborg University in Copenhagen and worked as a research assistant in the DataPublics project at Roskilde university. Previous to this Anna also studied journalism and worked as a press consultant in Denmark.
