This brings us to the second wave of modern eugenics, which differs from the first wave, most notably, with respect to its methodology.

Tom Koch appears in the readings as a scholar examining the genealogy of eugenics and its methodological shifts into contemporary practices, particularly relevant to how AI systems reproduce historical patterns of biological and social control. His work is cited alongside discussions of dataset accountability and the second wave of eugenics, suggesting he helps contextualize how modern algorithmic systems inherit and operationalize eugenic logic through ostensibly neutral technical processes. Though the excerpts are fragmentary, Koch's presence frames a critical genealogical argument about how AI doesn't escape eugenic thinking but rather obscures it through quantification and automation.
