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 ______ Andrea L. Guzman, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Dept. of Communication Northern Illinois University alguzman@niu.edu Read an advance copy of "What is Human-Machine Communication, Anyway?" https://bit.ly/2LKcpVf, the introduction to Human-Machine Communication: Rethinking Communication, Technology, & Ourselves forthcoming from Peter Lang. ________________________________ From: Air-L <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> on behalf of air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org <air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org> Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2018 3:31 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Air-L Digest, Vol 168, Issue 36 Send Air-L mailing list submissions to air-l@listserv.aoir.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org You can reach the person managing the list at air-l-owner@listserv.aoir.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Air-L digest..."

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.
