PANEL DESCRIPTION
>From voice assistance that replicates how care and service professions
manage their own emotions to surveillance technologies powered by
outsourced, contracted coding work, emotional, gendered, and racialized
labor are the sources of “smart” technologies writ large. How does the
promise of a better, hopeful “future of work” reproduce or contest
exploitative regimes of labor? How does the promise of living the “good
life,” of becoming the “smart” self, and individual empowerment prohibit
other forms of solidarity?
