ContrapuntalCritical AI for public research & civil society
A social platform for critical AI, grown out of R-Shief. With Contrapuntal, you can query social media, explore our dataset library, or upload your own material for analysis and archiving. Save and download your data, add notes as you work, and use our AI tools to visualize what you find, whether as conventional charts and graphs or through the Artifact Maker, which turns data into paintings, songs, sculptures, and more.
