I'm Stephen Yang, a writer, researcher, technologist, and futurist. My research investigates the temporal politics in and around computational media and artificial intelligence. I work to rethink how we can build and imagine futures otherwise.
Presently, I'm pursuing my PhD at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, where I'm supported by the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRFP).
My research offers critically oriented principles of technology design and policy. I have held research appointments at Microsoft Research (Social Media Collective), Center for Democracy & Technology (AI Governance Lab), and Partnership on AI.
I'm always open to new connections and opportunities. You can find me on X (formerly Twitter) or reach out to me at stepheny [at] usc [dot] edu.
