The ADM+S podcast has released five new episodes following the 25-26 April event ‘Digital Platform Economies: Value from Data’, in collaboration with PERN.
The event was held at The New School in New York City, featuring a program of speakers from both the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society, and PERN.
Designed to stimulate discussion about value forms and valuation processes through the lenses of digital assets, Web3 tokenization, digital twins, automated optimization, and generative AI, each session considers the questions: How do platforms produce value and monetize those value forms?
New episodes:
- Generative AI and Future Directions
This Keynote conversation features ADM+S Centre director Prof Julian Thomas and Associate Director Prof Jean Burgess, moderated by Paul Dourish from PERN.
- Web 3: Creating Economies in Digital Worlds
Featuring Kean Birch (PERN), Fabio Mattioli (PERN/ADM+S), Ellie Rennie (ADM+S), Kelsie Nabben (ADM+S), and moderated by Janet Roitman.
This session examines the following questions: How are Web3 digital economies designed? What processes, infrastructures, and practices are implicated in these designs? What forms of ‘new’ value are emerging? What forms of value are increasingly irrelevant? And what methods are applicable to the examination of these domains?
- Digital Twins
Featuring Michael Richardson (ADM+S), Zoe Horn (ADM+S), Mark Andrejevic (ADM+S), and moderated by Seyram Avle (PERN).
This panel asks: How do digital twins generate value? How are they imagined to reshape labour, logistics, and future planning? What regulatory interventions are needed as government and industry are increasingly drawn to the lure of digital platforms for modelling futures and modulating the real? What multidisciplinary methods of analysis and lines of inquiry are relevant to this emerging domain?
- Value Propositions in Platform Regulation
Featuring Jake Goldenfein (ADM+S/PERN), James Meese (ADM+S/PERN), Thao Phan (ADM+S), Angela Xiao Wu (PERN), and moderated by Linda Huber (PERN).
This session addresses the following questions: How do particular value propositions justify specific governance and managerial interventions? How do market-framing narratives (e.g., the data market) become dominant? What are their expressions in different contexts? How do these approaches embed diverse strategies for distributing regulatory and civic functions between private and public actors?
- Concept Work for Platform Economies
Featuring Na Fu (PERN), Koray Çalışkan (PERN), Franziska Cooiman (PERN), Silvia Lindtner (PERN), Janet Roitman (ADM+S/PERN), and moderated by Emma Park (PERN).
The session examines how core concepts, such as commodity, capital, labor, rent, data, and information, operate with reference to specific platform contexts. The aim is to consider how each case either challenges or confirms conventional understandings of particular concepts and to stimulate general discussion of theoretical challenges and research methods.
