FABIAN OFFERT

I am Assistant Professor for the History and Theory of the Digital Humanities, Director of the Center for the Humanities and Machine Learning, and Principal Investigator of the AI Forensics Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My research and teaching focuses on the epistemology, aesthetics, and politics of artificial intelligence. My current book project, Vector Media, investigates how AI models represent culture and what is at stake when they do. Before joining the faculty at UCSB, I worked for a number of German cultural institutions, including ZKM Karlsruhe and Goethe-Institut New York.
