Beskrivning

Intersectional Automations explores a range of situations where robotics, biotechnological enhancement, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithmic culture collide with intersectional social justice issues such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and citizenship. As robots, machine learning applications, and human augmentics are artifacts of human culture, they sometimes carry stereotypes, biases, exclusions, and other forms of privilege into their computational logics, platforms, and/or embodiments. The essays in this multidisciplinary collection consider how questions of equity and social justice impact our understanding of these developments, analyzing not only the artifacts themselves, but also the discourses and practices surrounding them, including societal understandings, design choices, law and policy approaches, and their uses and abuses.

As robots, artificial intelligence, and algorithms become an ever-increasing part of daily life people are struggling to make sense of what the “fourth industrial revolution” will ultimately mean for their relationships and their place in this world. Intersectional Automations: Robotics, AI, Algorithms, and Equity interrogates some of the most pressing questions raised by the proliferation of smart technologies. Unlike much of what has been written about algorithmic and robotic culture, Intersectional Automations does not offer sweeping proclamations of utopian or dystopian futures informed by a single perspective. Instead, Nathan Rambukkana expertly threads together diverse academic voices into a smart edited collection that provides a more complex picture of the implications of emerging technologies and the choices individuals, organizations, and governments make surrounding them. Intersectional Automations is an integral read for scholars seeking a holistic perspective of the intricacies of communication and relationships between humans and machines.
