Jose Marichal

Professor of Political Science / California Lutheran University

I am a professor of political science at California Lutheran University. I specialize in studying the role that algorithms and AI play in restructuring social and political institutions. I am currently writing a book entitled "You Must Become an Algorithmic Problem" that will come out in 2025 with Bristol University Press (UK). The book explores the unwritten social contract we have with the algorithms that shape what we see, hear and think.

I have a number of projects with collaborators looking at how social media shapes political discourse. My next project is entitled "Machine Liberalism." It looks at how algorithms and AI are changing our expectations of liberal democracy.

Feel free to explore my projects, teaching activities, or view my full Curriculum Vitae. The work of the Digital Possibility Lab, which I convene, can be found on the About the Digital Possibility Lab page.
