Lecture: Power, politics and imaginations of artificial intelligence

The case of the driverless car

My research is an 'ethnography of ethics' that follows the mainstream visibility for and emergence of a new technology in society – artificial intelligence in the context of the driverless car. In this, ethics is being deployed as a proxy vocabulary for, variously, human-machine relations, as a software problem, a design challenge, and as an influence on the development of regulatory mechanisms. From perfect information games to science-fiction movies, this talk will weave together histories of intelligence in computing with questions of accountability and design in technology.
