New Book Chapter w/ @gamespacenl about early days of AI news coverage. Drawing from our book, we argue mainstreaming AI will be hard, especially given expectations for journalists to play with and understand the tech. Send me a note if you need a copy: https://t.co/J9Pmkh16wQ

Due to a gaffe in reading from a text-to-speech program, I think if I ever do decide to get into rapping, I'll go by the moniker of MC Luhan.

@DrSethJenny Thank you!

It's the season of posting academic letters, and I'm no different! Humbled and pleased to be promoted to Associate w/ tenure (effective Sept). Scholarship is a team sport; I truly could not have achieved this without the constant support of friends/colleagues. Many thanks!

Thanks Scottie Andrew!
