Description
Imagining AI explores the diverse ways in which people around the world conceptualize, imagine, and relate to artificial intelligence. Authors Stephen Cave and Kanta Dihal investigate how cultural narratives, historical contexts, and societal values influence our perceptions of intelligent machines.
Rather than focusing solely on technical aspects, this book examines the imaginaries—the stories, myths, and cultural frameworks—that shape how different societies understand AI. From ancient automata to contemporary algorithms, the authors trace how humanity has projected its hopes, fears, and values onto machines.
Drawing on research from multiple continents and disciplines, the book reveals how AI is imagined differently across cultures, reflecting distinct worldviews and concerns. This global perspective challenges Western-centric views of AI and demonstrates how imagination fundamentally influences technology development and adoption.
