It was nice to catch up in Poznan, Poland, with my fellow anthropologists. I was here for this presentation:
Saka, E. (2026, July 23). Sovereign AI and the Reproduction of Algorithmic Power: Governance Frameworks in the Global South. EASA2026: Anthropology: Possibilities in a Polarised World, Panel P018: Anthropology of Artificial Intelligence and Oppression [org. Sahana Udupa & Kaarina Nikunen]. European Association of Social Anthropology, Poznań, Poland. https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/easa2026/paper/97314
Here are some encounters:
Ebru Kayaalp of Yeditepe University. My classmate from Rice Anthropology.
Again, many years later, Ayşecan Terzioğlu of Sabancı University.Co-editor of Anthropology and Artificial Intelligence Handbook, Peter Hervik.
While the conference continued, a well-known German crime journalist, Thomas Heise, interviewed me about the new generation gangs. He and his teammate drove from Berlin, interviewed me in Poznan and drove back!
