Theme 2: How to think about humanity and machinery

The second theme focused more on the worker/labourer perspective on what it’s like to use AI, including ideas of paradoxes of work from Bainbridge, and using Ge Wang’s work on the Human-in-the-loop idea as a reference point for the students (because they were complaining that the readings were too hard).

Theme 3: How to Control AI

Theme three was intended to be focused on policy matters related to AI, but ended up being more about the problems that came with it. This included applied ethics, environmental issues, the issues of data supply, and exteriorisation. More cannibalism in this section than I’d originally planned.

Theme 4: How to think radically about AI

The final section involved the more activisty elements, tracing the politics of AI as a technology that remains ‘up for grabs’ politically, connecting the dots between those who are involved in AI investments and regulation, and mapping out our histories of technology and politics via the Futurists. The unit ended with a discussion of art and its relationship to politics before finishing with a discussion of the science fiction impetus of converting ourselves into AI post-mortem.
