The Mutations of Machine Speech

This research outlines the evolution of algorithmic outputs, termed 'machine speech,' and their societal and legal implications. It identifies two key 'mutations': first, the redefinition of speech as data for query, transforming information retrieval into an economic model of algorithmic visibility; second, the reframing of speech as engagement, where social media platforms integrate moderation with amplification, converting expression into a measurable metric.

Understanding the evolution and societal impact of 'machine speech' is crucial for navigating the digital landscape. These shifts fundamentally alter how information is accessed, consumed, and valued, impacting market dynamics, communication strategies, and public discourse.

Algorithmic outputs are increasingly integral to organizing contemporary digital environments.
