Julian Posada

Julian Posada is an Assistant Professor of American Studies at Yale University and a visiting scholar at the Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 2024-25 academic year.
His research integrates theories and methods from information science, sociology, and human-computer interaction to examine the sociocultural dimensions of information technology development and use.
Posada's current book project, under contract with the University of California Press, investigates the dynamics between human labor and data production in the artificial intelligence industry. Incorporating Latin American critical thought, the study emphasizes the experiences of workers in the region who are employed by digital platforms to produce machine learning data and validate algorithmic outputs.
