Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as any technique applied to
computers that can mimic human behaviors and replicate or outperform
human decision-making to solve complex tasks with human intervention
or, in the most advanced versions, autonomously (Russell, Norvic,
2021; Micalizzi, 2024).
Part of the scientific debate is addressed to investigate if and how
AI can be considered «intelligent»: in fact, some scholars highlighted
the ontological problem linked to the word «intelligence» (Esposito,
2017; 2022).[...] read more

Some of the open questions are:
* How do Artificial Intelligence and its related technologies
intervene in the processes of sense-making?
* To what extent do such practices represent a form of cultural
production in our time?
* How can deep learning-based technologies be integrated into the
observation of digital practices, and with what outcomes?
The Conference (ERQ25) embraces and endorses a broad, ambitious view
of ethnographic and qualitative research. Contributions can be based
on a variety of methods, including participant observation, in-depth
interviews, focus groups, video-based field studies, auto-ethnography,
visual ethnography, discourse studies, and other forms of inquiry
inspired and informed by an ethnographic sensibility.
It will be held at University of Trento, on 10-12th of July 2024.
