Karen Schriver is a pioneer in information design and rhetoric who recognized early that digital systems and interactive computing would become the primary medium for persuasion and human-computer communication.

This positions her thinking at the intersection of design, persuasion, and computational systems that the course examines as central to understanding contemporary AI and algorithmic culture.
