Hello everyone discussing voice assistants/voice tech/AI:
If you are attending AOIR 2018, please consider joining us for the half-day preconference: "The Medium as Message and Messenger: Human-Machine Communication in the Next-Generation Internet." It would be a great way to network with others. You can register when you register for the conference. https://aoir.org/aoir2018/preconfwrkshop/#MM
Disembodied AI, including voice assistants, is my area of research. Some of my own publications that may be of interest:
1 Guzman, A. L. (Ed.). (in press). Human-Machine Communication: Rethinking communication, technology, & ourselves. In S. Jones (Series Ed.), Digital Formations Series. PeterLang. (See link below my header to introduction chapter).
2 Guzman, A. L. (2018). Beyond extraordinary: Theorizing artificial intelligence and the self in daily life. In Z. Papacharissi (Ed.), A networked self: Human augmentics, artificial intelligence, sentience (Vol. 5). Routledge.
3 Guzman, A.L. (2017). Making AI safe for humans: A conversation with Siri. In R.W. Gehl and M. Bakardjieva (Eds.), Socialbots: Digital media and the automation of sociality.
4 Guzman, A.L. (2015). "Imagining the voice in the machine: The ontology of digital social agents" (dissertation). (I have various conference papers/pubs in progress coming out of this).
I have author copies of everything but my dissertation on my Researchgate and academia.edu pages. If you cannot access either site, or would like a copy of the dissertation, you are more than welcome to email me off-list.
Other scholars with relevant work include: Clifford Nass (HCI) and Lucy Suchman (HCI/STS). From a critical/media studies perspective, Joshua Reeves has published work on the "automation of communication." There was an entire issue in Intervalla (2013) regarding social robots (that is relevant to voice assistants). Finally, the journal "Computers in Human Behavior" routinely publishes on people's interactions with voice-based technologies.
Also, there is a human-machine communication scholars email list: https://listserv.temple.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=HMC-SCHOLARS
Best wishes,
Andrea

Hi all,
I know there's a thread going about AI research, but I'm looking for
anything that's out there on voice tech - it can be about assistants, voice
recognition in general, impacts of voice enabled technology, etc. Trying to
get a sense of what people are looking at (if anything).
TIA

Not a scholarly source, but I loved this article in the Atlantic a few
weeks ago:

Hi all,
Stephanie, as early as this week we'll be releasing a mini-report on
digital assistants. We added three questions to our big longitudinal U.S.
survey, and the results were interesting... so interesting that we may want
to do a larger project. If anybody would like a copy of the report, then
please let me know.
All best,
Brad
