Affiliated Faculty
Sun-ha Hong analyses the fantasies, values and sentimentalities surrounding big data and AI. By mapping out the historical and philosophical roots of how we think about objectivity and progress, his work seeks to clarify the moral stakes of technological promises. He is the author of Technologies of Speculation: The limits of knowledge in a data-driven society (NYU Press, 2020), which examines the changing norms of predictivity and certainty through emerging technologies of state- and self-surveillance. Sun-ha’s current research analyses the contested legacy of the Enlightenment in modern technoculture. Sun-ha is currently Assistant Professor of Communication at Simon Fraser University.
