Introduction and context The objectives of this section were to: Co-develop the working concept 'Data Agencies' as an approach to data research methods for marginalised and excluded groups Creating a self-sustaining community of arts and humanities researchers interested in data and digital research Co-write a Data Agency toolkit for arts and humanities researchers interested in data and digital research, using Wikibooks as a tool. Core question is: how do we approach data research methods in ways that are empowering for marginalised and excluded groups? "Critical science and decolonial theory, when used in combination, can pinpoint the limitations of an AI system and its potential ethical and social ramifications, becoming a "sociotechnical foresight tool" for the development of ethical AI" (Royer, 2020: 22).2020-08-30 The Short Anthropological Guide to the Study of Ethical AI https://montrealethics.ai/the-short-anthropological-guide-to-the-study-of-ethical-ai/ 2024-01-27 Montreal AI Ethics Institute en-US Decolonial theory has its foundations in race, law, feminism, queer theory, and philosophical technology studies and understanding the blind spots and limitations of a particular technology necessitates exposing the power dynamics and political relationships that support its application. By infusing a decolonial critical approach into AI, data and socio-technical communities, we could establish insights and approaches that better connect research and technology development to established ethical values grounded in decolonial theory. This will require the development of new research cultures, as well as original technical research in equality and fairness, including the definition of fairness and its ideals, translation, and privacy. Encouraging inclusive dialogue in research methodologies could contribute to the development of a responsible AI and a renewed responsibility to current technologies. By critically engaging with the past and present, researchers must try to unlearn colonial reasoning, reinstate norms of living that were previously incompatible with life, and create new forms of political and affective transdisciplinary research communities to address these challenges. Ontological Turn - Digital and the real. Important distinctions between dualism have been adopted in humanities theory, "A diverse body of work known as the “ontological turn” has made important contributions to anthropological theory. In this article, I build on this work to address one of the most important theoretical and political issues haunting contemporary theories of technology: the opposition of the “digital” to the “real.” This fundamentally misrepresents the relationship between the online and offline, in both directions. First, it flies in the face of the myriad ways that the online is real. Second (and just as problematically), it implies that everything physical is real. Work in the ontological turn can help correct this misrepresentation regarding the reality of the digital" (Boellstorff, 2016: 387).Boellstorff Tom 2016-08 For Whom the Ontology Turns: Theorizing the Digital Real https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/687362 Current Anthropology en 57 4 387–407 10.1086/687362 0011-3204 Ontology as a way of acting a reality or realities, performing the process, and constructing and acting those life worlds. What we believe our world is made up of, plays a part in how we interact with it, and our understandings of that world (reality/realities) are shaped also by our actions. Data epistemologies What are data epistemologies? Data epistemologies: How to move past critique and challenge/compliment scientific disciplines (challenge the dualism between coloniser/colonised to redefine decolonisation). "Epistemic cultures are cultures of creating and warranting knowledge. This is what the choice of the term 'epistemic' rather than simply 'knowledge' suggests ... [i[t brings into focus the content of the different knowledge-oriented lifeworld's, the different meanings of the empirical... particular ontologies of instruments, specific models of epistemic subjects" (Knorr-Cetina as cited in Lury 2021: 11) "Big Data, coupled with new data analytics, challenges established epistemologies across the sciences, social sciences and humanities, and assesses the extent to which they are engendering paradigm shifts across multiple disciplines. In particular, it critically explores new forms of empiricism that declare ‘the end of theory’, the creation of data-driven rather than knowledge-driven science, and the development of digital humanities and computational social sciences that propose radically different ways to make sense of culture, history, economy and society" (Kitchin 2014: 1Kitchin Rob 2014-04-01 Big Data, new epistemologies and paradigm shifts http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2053951714528481 Big Data & Society 1 1 205395171452848 10.1177/2053951714528481 2053-9517).

Combining Science and Technology Studies with Social Movement Studies, this theoretical article offers a foretaste of a research agenda on data activism. It foregrounds democratic agency vis-à-vis datafication, and unites under the same label ways of affirmative engagement with data (“proactive data activism”, e. g. databased advocacy) and tactics of resistance to massive data collection (“reactive data activism”, e. g. encryption practices), understood as a continuum along which activists position and reposition themselves and their tactics".

How and why? How are we defining agency? Data agencies may be regarded multi-layered since they interact with a variety of systems at different times (people, social structures, economies, and technical systems), all of which may be examined using diverse approaches. Data agencies possess agency distinct from humans and exert multidirectional influence, representing varying meaningsKockelman Paul 2013-12 The anthropology of an equation: Sieves, spam filters, agentive algorithms, and ontologies of transformation https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.14318/hau3.3.003 HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory en 3 3 33–61 10.14318/hau3.3.003 2575-1433 Maurer Bill 2013-12 Transacting ontologies: Kockelman's sieves and a Bayesian anthropology https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.14318/hau3.3.004 HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory en 3 3 63–75 10.14318/hau3.3.004 2575-1433to individuals in different circumstances and times, influenced by the researchers agency and their reflexivity.

Data agencies are inherently complex, impacting individuals and data at multiple junctures through feedback loops. If we consider the concept of data agencies as a crucial link between the machine and the human, this situates machine learning technologies as being a key analytical tool for the possibility of being able to decode data agencies. One way to think of data agencies is to consider the humility of the researcher and how the data challenges the researcher. For example, the researcher should be prepared to shift their own thinking and enter into a reciprocal relationship with the data and its agency (as an object of study) in which the researcher is not just trying to explain and interpret the data but allows it to shift you and become a participant within a movement in your own thinkingKaur Raminder 2019-09 The digitalia of everyday life: Multi-situated anthropology of a virtual letter by a “foreign hand” https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/705581 HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory en 9 2 299–319 10.1086/705581 2575-1433. The agency of the data could lead us to analytical humility and reflexivity while allowing for conceptualisation between the researchers agency and the data's agency as mutual entities inhabiting different worlds (Holbraad et al, 2014).Holbraad, M., & Pedersen, M. A. (2014). The Politics of Ontology. Fieldsights-Theorizing the Contemporary. Cultural Anthropology. - References - Scientific Research Publishing https://www.scirp.org/reference/referencespapers?referenceid=2082532 2024-01-27 www.scirp.org Even if we try to adopt pre-existing frameworks or establish prioritization checklists to support research endeavours, a goal of decolonial data agency is to question methodologies and practices, within reason. There will always be more context that can be provided and support research conclusions, but balancing interpretability and explainability with performance and the ability to execute is as fundamental a part of a research process as it is an AI model. Questions Where is the agency found? How does it interact with the machine and human in symbiosis? Where is the intersection of contact?

A decolonial approach could play a crucial role in identifying and addressing biases in machine learning by examining the historical and contextual factors that shape data agencies. This approach could enable a more nuanced understanding of the information being processed, thereby enhancing the accuracy and cultural sensitivity of the outcomes. Deep learning mechanisms that prioritise calculation in data sets and corpus-gen-AI, what are the issues where can a decolonial position materialise? Possible entry point: Assessment of base code at the test and evaluation stage may be helpful, considering the potential impact on model performance and efficiency from a decolonial perspective. Additionally, incorporating feedback loops during the training process could further optimise the deep learning mechanisms for improved results and how use cases/biases in data sets could impact protective classes and be revised before impact by the machine. Ethnography and Large Language Models Inclusiveness: African philosophy and artificial intelligence - value (mis) alignment. Development theories prioritise control over the environment, individual freedom, self-interest, and market dynamics. These concepts contribute to welfare, private property, materialism, and the unification of value through the instrumentalization of the market and the production process. All these factors play a role in the labour force process and changes to market dynamics through the development of new technologies. Ultimately, these concepts play a critical role in shaping society's economic structure by influencing various aspects of the economy and technological development. New digital divisions related to technological advancements are emerging and issues such as capacity building, new labour redundancies, privacy concerns, and ethical challenges will continue to develop. Unlike previous waves of automation, a new wave of automation will impact a significant portion of the economy, particularly middle-class occupations. There will also be new opportunities for employment, new job positions, and increased productivity and previously undervalued parts of the economic activity such as caring and social service occupations will become increasingly valuable. Is it possible to develop intercultural digital/data ethics? Deep learning principles that incorporate ontologies and indigenous languages, as well as diverse perspectives, could help address some of the ethical challenges in the digital age. Collaborative efforts between different cultures and communities will be essential to ensure that digital advancements are developed and implemented in a responsible and inclusive manner. African Philosophy The Nguni languages of southern Africa are the foundation for the concept of reciprocity, also known as Ubuntu (I am because you are) which enhances concepts such as the economy, inclusivity, and reciprocity, refining their understanding. It considers how humans and non-human beings (nature and beliefs) are more important than economics. All living things, including nature, and the earth are closely interconnected and interdependent, emphasizing unity over separation. It encompasses the idea that each individual contributes to collective well-being, fostering harmony within society and 'intelligence' may also be generated through relational beings and as a whole (collective intelligence). The grammar of African languages e.g Muntu and Bantu (which focus on personhood) enables exploring Ubuntu-related ideas embodying the fundamentals of African thought. While English is a noun-based language with teleological future thought, African languages (with complex noun class systems) prioritise motion and verbs, emphasising the present. For example, people who came before you are part of the living community, and future generations also shape the community that exists today. The decisions you make are influenced by those who preceded you and those who will come after you ( links to critical race theory and historical perspectives ----expand with taussig and defacement and labour of the negative analysis https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=432). This is in misalignment with transhumanism because transhumanism can be based on a restricted worldview; the concept of robots replacing humans and developing general intelligence presupposes the ability to separate and individualise intelligence, which is in contention with the concept of UbuntuGarnier Xavier 2007 Rettovà (Alena), Afrophone Philosophies.

Challenges to data agency approach Political Economy approach to data agencies: rather than abandon the categories of “subject” and “object” and of “Society” and “Nature,” as suggested by proponents of “the ontological turn,” researchers can compare subject–object transformations and the naturalization of social power relations in the two contexts. In acknowledging the ultimate dependence of modern technology on exchange rates and financial strategies in a globalized economy, we realize that the agency of modern artefacts is also dependent on human subjectivity. In shifting the focus of comparative anthropology from ontology to political economy, we can detect that modern technology is a globalized form of magic (Hornborg, A, 2015: 35).Hornborg Alf 2015-03 The political economy of technofetishism http://dx.doi.org/10.14318/hau5.1.003 HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory 5 1 35–57 10.14318/hau5.1.003 2575-1433 How do Data agencies relate to Roy Bhaskar's Critical Realism Bhaskar Roy 2020-03-14 Critical realism and the ontology of persons https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14767430.2020.1734736 Journal of Critical Realism en 19 2 113–120 10.1080/14767430.2020.1734736 1476-7430and the Philosophy of Meta-Reality Part II: Agency, Perfectibility, NoveltyBhaskar Roy 2002-11-15 The Philosophy of Meta-Reality: Part II: Agency, Perfectibility, Novelty http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1558/jocr.v1i1.67 Journal of Critical Realism en 1 1 67–93 10.1558/jocr.v1i1.67 1476-7430 Would a multi methods approach to data agencies be an appropriate method?
