'Three Open Problems for Historians of AI' - Momin Malik (Harvard)

Panel 5 Knowledge Practices Historical epistemology and attention to practice have long been central concerns for historians of science, but have attracted much less energy in the history of computing. This panel bridges the two fields by exploring ways of knowing and forms of practice in artificial intelligence. From competitions that serve to benchmark AI accomplishments, to the fashioning of artificial intelligence systems as scientific instruments, these panelists explore what artificial intelligence practitioners actually do. What tools and epistemic frameworks do they craft? What and how do they know? From the 'Towards a History of Artificial Intelligence' Workshop at Columbia University held on 23-24 May 2019. Organisers: Stephanie Dick, History and Sociology of Science, Pennsylvania Matthew L. Jones, History, Columbia; Big Data and Science Studies Cluster, Center for Science and Society Jonnie Penn, HPS, Cambridge, Harvard Berkman-Klein and Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence Aaron Plasek, History, Columbia University Full programme: http://lcfi.ac.uk/media/uploads/files...
