Aiden Bradley

Biography

Aiden's doctoral work examines how humanoid robotics and artificial intelligence are reshaping Canadian public understanding of these technologies, reproducing dominant sociotechnical arrangements while drawing on, yet often distorting, alt-right visions. Relying on qualitative methods, this exploratory study seeks to better understand contemporary sociotechnical imaginaries, specifically the processes and implications for Canadian development. The project will map the discursive landscape surrounding these technologies to uncover their role in shaping human-technological trajectories and, possibly, in perpetuating inequities.  Ultimately, the goal is to produce an adaptive framework that addresses contemporary sociotechnical conditions and challenges Big Tech hegemony.
