…history of cybernetics. Her MIT course, “Automata, Automatism, Systems, Cybernetics,” explores the history of the human/machine interface in terms of feedback, exploring the cultural rather than engineering uptake of this idea. She begins with primary readings by Wiener, Shannon,...

…ich technicians wearing white lab coats, scarves, and gloves were busy collating punch cards coming through an enormous machine. When I approached, the steam from my breath fogged up the window into the cold room. Wiping it off, I saw “the” computer. I fell in love. Later, in th...

…ning over decades. However, over the past few years, we have seen the rise of the use of more powerful tools, including machine learning and inference aimed at algorithmic manipulation, with the target of influencing the thinking and actions of people. Some initial uses of these...

…nature is and what his built-in purposes are”), and against what today is called the value-alignment problem: that “the machine like the djinnee, which can learn and can make decisions on the basis of its learning, will in no way be obliged to make such decisions as we should hav...
