simulo reviewed Artificial knowing by Alison Adam
None
4 stars
Well readable book on gendered ideas of knowledge that are used in developing knowing and thinking algorithms and knowledge representations. The examples are dated in the sense that current AI is working far more with neural networks and statistical methods rather than formal abstractions of thinking. But the ideas what is means to be rational are culturally still influential and have been combined with the newer technologies and are still claimed to be unbiased and rational machines.
