Matteo Pasquinelli's four theses on AI's place in the history of technoscience
ArtificialOther · x · 2026-11-13
Matteo Pasquinelli publishes a Springer living reference chapter, "From Algorithmic Thinking to Thinking Machines," situating AI via historical epistemology of science:
- Places AI within the long history of technoscience rather than treating it as purely contemporary
- Advances four central theses on the development of algorithmic thinking
- Emphasizes the complex imbrication of social, economic, technical, logical and ideological dimensions of AI
It is a lightly revised reprint of his 2023 chapter (originally CC-BY), with an abstract and keywords added.
