Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: Beginning with a critical exploration of the canonical histories of AI, this chapter stresses how the history of communication and media research may contribute to existing historiographies of AI. Four key aspects of the long-standing relationship between communication, media, and AI are discussed: the cross-history of communication theory (especially cybernetics) and AI, the early development of AI and human-computer interaction, the relevance of media and science fiction narratives in AI research and imagina… Show more

As expected, and as we shall also see in examples from AIEd, imaginaries range from the obviously optimistic to the highly pessimistic but often also end up downplaying the potential effects behind an assumed technical neutrality.…”
