Vol. 20: /Machine Intelligences/, guest-edited by Peter Jakobsson, Anne 
Kaun and Fredrik Stiernstedt


 From the editors’ introduction


The aim of this special issue is to advance new critical perspectives on 
machine intelligence. Although the current hype surrounding artificial 
intelligence has been countered by several critical interventions, there 
is still a long way to go in order to produce a shift in the mainstream 
discourse concerning these technologies. The AI-hype has support from 
resourceful and well-connected actors within industry and politics. 
Within the art world and popular culture, AI appears to be a more 
ambiguous phenomena, associated with both blessings and grave dangers. 
Nevertheless, its development is all too often portrayed as though it is 
inevitable and that the path it will take is already set. The impulse 
behind this special issue is to deepen and diversify the interrogation 
of this seemingly inevitable development and to get a look behind the 
shiny surfaces of these supposedly new technologies. This special issue 
thus offers historical perspectives, conceptual re-thinking and situated 
analyses of the technical realities and the social and cultural 
implications of machine intelligence, in its many different forms and 
manifestations, with the hope that this will provide opportunities to 
intervene in and change the course of our technological futures….
