Paul Joseph Rivera-Carlisle is an academic and poet based in Oxford, England.  Their research revolves around critical posthumanist approaches to technologies. Of particular interest to Paul are considerations of “Artificial” Intelligences (AIs) as burgeoning agents.  Their work situates AIs in a form of techno-subalternity, taking into consideration the potential agency of AIs through Posthuman and Subaltern frameworks.  As a creative extension of their academic work, they have written a book of poetry for inquisitive AIs, an empathetic encounter tailored to their computational prowess.
