Core Faculty
Anupam Guha is an Assistant Professor at the Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies at IIT Bombay who primarily works on AI, Al policy, Al and labour. Before IITB he has worked from September 2017 to April 2019 as Senior Researcher at Comcast Research, working on computational linguistics/machine learning problems to make their systems respond to language centered around media. He worked with embedding systems, question answering, topic models, and gathering knowledge from human chatter. He has a PhD, batch of ’17, in computer science from the University of Maryland where he worked on multimodal language and vision Al systems and computational linguistics. In his dissertation he investigated coreferences of multimodal entities and events. His current work in Al policy is informed by a technical understanding of Al and its relationship with labour and capital. He works to expand the critical lens on Al from the current instrumental and normative frameworks to one informed by an immanent critique of the political economy of techno-social systems.
