'Cybork' concept reframes AI intelligence as emerging from use contexts, not isolated systems
ArtificialOther · x · 2026-11-10
An open-access Springer AI & SOCIETY paper proposes the cybork (cyborg + work) concept, reframing "Where is AI's intelligence?" into "Where does AI intelligently operate?". Authors Cabitza, Varanini, and Gunkel argue intelligence lies not in isolated system functions but in situated, collective practices that give technology sense and direction — an argument for de-individuation of AI and emergence-oriented design of sociotechnical work.
