Marek Poliks is a researcher in the philosophy of technology. He’s based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Marek and his primary research partner Roberto Alonso Trillo (HKBU) have been working to situate deep learning tools as endosymbiotic reproductive infrastructure (inorganic vehicles through which biological, epistemological, and social information is encoded, subject to contingent processes, and transmitted). Marek’s strategic leadership background in the tech sector affords him a distinct perspective within the philosophy space, one immersed in the material mechanics of highly-scaled software architecture and its financialization.
