Dr Vassilis Galanos, SFHEA is Lecturer in Digital Work at the University of Stirling. Vassilis investigates historico-sociological underpinnings of AI and internet technologies, and how expertise and expectations are negotiated in these domains. Some recent research projects include unified cross-disciplinary approaches to critical hype studies and the development of digital metaphors in everyday, academic, and political discourse, and the use of Jainist frameworks for the conceptualisation of AI. Recent collaborations involved the history of AI at Edinburgh, interrogations of generative AI in journalism (BRAID UK), artist-data scientist interactions (The New Real), and community-led regeneration interfacing with data-driven innovation (Data Civics). Vassilis has co-founded the AI Ethics & Society research group and the History and Philosophy of Computing's (HaPoC) Working Group on Data Sharing, also acting as Associate Editor of Technology Analysis and Strategic Management and a trustee of the Granton:Hub. Together with James K. Stewart, Vassilis is authoring the book Internet, AI and Society to be published with Wiley Blackwell.
