In this website, Zheng Mahler have used the AI newsreader Qiu Hao released by the Chinese Xinhua State News Agency in 2019 as a mouthpiece to voice contemporary, less monolithic, more subversive, subcultural responses to AI and technology in China. Collecting excerpts of essays by leading scholars of technology and artificial intelligence in the East, ‘The Master Algorithm: Redux’ is a kind of digitally embodied, scholarly volume spoken through the AI newsreader.
