Product Description
Book Description
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 that gender bias is inscribed in AI-based computer systems. Her treatment of feminist epistemology, focusing on the ideas of the knowing subject, the nature of knowledge, rationality and language, are bound to make a significant and powerful contribution to AI studies. Drawing from theories by Donna Haraway and Sherry Turkle, and using tools of feminist epistemology, Adam provides a sustained critique of AI which interestingly re-enforces many of the traditional criticisms of the AI project. Artificial Knowing is an esential read for those interested in gender studies, science and technology studies, and philosophical debates in AI.

Synopsis
Challenging the masculine slant in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) view of the world, this text aims to fill the gap in science and technology studies by showing 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, the author provides a sustained critique of AI which re-enforces and extends many of the traditional criticisms of the AI project.
