Artificial knowing

Description:

"In Artificial Knowing, Alison Adam boldly challenges the Artificial Intelligence (AI) view of the world which prescribes the masculine as the norm and excludes other knowers and knowledge, specifically women. Adam fills a large gap in science and technology studies by showing us how gender is inscribed in AI-based computer systems." "By locating feminist theory in relation to science and technology studies, Adam argues that feminist epistemology, in its treatment of the knowing subject and the nature of knowledge, rationality and language, can make a serious contribution to and provide a richer critique of AI."--Jacket.
