Dr. Fabian Ferrari
Assistant Professor, Utrecht University
I am an Assistant Professor in Cultural AI at Utrecht University, an affiliate at the Centre for Digital Humanities, and a member of the focus area Governing the Digital Society. I hold a PhD from the University of Oxford and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
In January 2026, I will begin my NWO-funded Veni project Conditional Computing: Reimagining the Governance of Public AI Infrastructure. It examines public investments in AI infrastructure, such as supercomputers, and asks how these can reconcile competitiveness with public value creation.
My research has been published in journals such as Nature Machine Intelligence, Cultural Studies, New Media & Society, Big Data & Society, and Competition & Change. I have also co-edited a book, Digital Work in the Planetary Market, which was published open access by MIT Press.
