Chijioke is a Masters student at Stanford University studying Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence and speech technologies. He is interested in the socio-technical mechanisms of AI, from labor to media interactivity, and how AI illuminates long standing social issues in Western society such as public discourse, policy, and overall tech inertia. He dreams to make technology ever more accountable for the people it claims to serve.
