Miriam E. Sweeney, Ph.D.
Associate Professor | University of Alabama
School of Library and Information Studies
I am a critical digital media and information scholar who studies interface design, anthropomorphic interfaces (e.g. chatbots and digital assistants), voice interfaces, artificial intelligence, and big data infrastructures through the lenses of race, gender, and sexuality. 

My current book,Voice Assistants (Polity Press, forthcoming), offers a critical treatment of voice assistants, surveillance capitalism, and issues of data, design, ethics, and the future of voice as a ubiquitous interface.
