Artificial Knowing Summary:
|
Artificial Knowing challenges the masculine slant in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) view of the world. Alison Adam admirably fills the large gap in science and technology studies by showing us how gender is inscribed in AI-based computer systems. Drawing from a wide range of social science, philosophical and feminist theory, and using tools of feminist epistemology, Adam provides a sustained critique of AI which re-enforces and substantially extends many of the traditional criticisms of the AI project. |
