This chapter introduces the concept of imaginaries and offers a critical analytical framework to question imaginaries of AI, and provides an overview of current research on sociotechnical imaginaries around AI and related technological discourses considering relevant stakeholders, media representations and public perceptions of the technology.
Rapidly developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology is widely regarded as humanity’s newest and most effective achievement. Beyond its capacity to permeate every aspect of life and generate solutions for diverse needs, it has also become a subject of intense debate due to the claims it generates regarding human...
It is argued that anthropomorphism can become a structuring part of sociotechnical imaginaries—visions of desirable futures attainable through advances in science and technology and advance a theoretical account for the effects of anthropomorphisation as embedded in sociotechnical imagining.
The paper demonstrates the need to reconfigure the anthropocentric conceptual apparatus of science studies to enhance its explanatory adequacy and proposes a shift in research focus toward the empirical analysis of AI’s actual use in scientific practice and the reconstruction of the emergent normative orders within the...
Technological applications, innovations, and advancements characterize modern society. More interestingly, the use of technology in the 21st century has brought about rapid change to human existence and essence. Many countries, especially the developed countries, have invested so much in technology and are reaping its...
The concept of “alienated intelligence” is introduced to critically examine contemporary cultural perceptions of artificial intelligence to argue that certain visions of AI function as cultural projections of human cognitive capacities that become externalized, idealized, and reified in technological systems.
The research analyzes the implementation of AI-based tools in law firms, their contributions to procedural efficiency and the ethical and legal challenges they raise, and projects the future of the legal profession, reflecting on the limits of replacing human performance with technological evolution.
