Practicing Digital Ethnography is a 2026 Routledge volume edited by Devin Proctor, bringing together methods, tools, and approaches for conducting ethnographic research in digital contexts.
Matt Artz contributes the chapter Artificial Intelligence: The AI Anthropology Lifecycle, which introduces the AI Anthropology Lifecycle (AAL) as a framework for organizing anthropological engagement with AI systems across three dimensions: anthropology OF AI, anthropology BY AI, and anthropology FOR AI.
The volume situates digital ethnography within contemporary methodological debates and offers concrete guidance for researchers working in online communities, platform cultures, and AI-mediated environments. Available in print, ebook, and open access formats.
