✨ 🎉 I am very grateful and honored to be the recipient of the 2025 Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis Article Award @uvahumanities.bsky.social for my paper "Platform power in AI: The evolution of cloud infrastructures in the political economy of artificial intelligence" (tinyurl.com/ythnj7kf)
The text on the image: Dieuwertje Luitse’s article “Platform Power in AI: the Evolution of Cloud Infrastructure in the Political Economy of Artificial Intelligence” is a remarkable contribution to the ongoing debates around AI, and the politics of infrastructure more broadly. The committee was impressed with Luitse’s capacity to put forward methodological, empirical, and theoretical contributions in one single piece. The notion of “evolutionary platform technography”, which she introduces in this article, is a welcomed addition to the literature on technography as a method, and provides necessary tools to study technical systems characterised by vertical integration and heavy market concentration. The application of these methods in the empirical sections demonstrates remarkable scholarly rigor, and allows her to provide a typology of Big Tech strategies to condition technological innovation. It is hard to think of a more timely contribution to the field, considering the amount of market and political power amassed by the firms that she studied. Finally, this typology offers a valuable – dare I even say crucial – contribution to the theoretical debates around “platform power” in which many ASCA colleagues are involved. For all these reasons, the jury unanimously decided to award her this prize and wholeheartedly congratulates you for penning such an impactful piece of research.
