Being an expert on archival theory in relation to women writers' materials, Linda has digitization - and now datafication (7:45) - very much on the brain (and probably on her computer too). It led Linda to raise a question in this interview – at what point is datafication a form of digital trespassing ? When is it going too far -- and when do we get to say it's gone too far ? -- mining the details of our personal lives, even our bodies (as facial recognition technology reminds us), often for capitalist pursuits, without the direct (if not implied) consent of those furnishing the data?  And what's the difference, she also asks Dr. Wong, between libraries and their archives and datafication, another means of preservation? And in her telling response, Dr. Wong reminds us that libraries (3:30) are more important than ever before . Other points of discussion: The Daily Show ( Tristan Harris, Center for Humane Technology , 6:00) AI and Chat GPT and existential questions raised (6:50) algorithms (10:45) Hosted on Acast.
