520 $aIn Artificial Knowing, Alison Adam boldly
challenges the Artificial Intelligence (AI) view of the
world which prescribes the masculine as the norm and
excludes other knowers and knowledge, specifically women.
Adam fills a large gap in science and technology studies by
showing us how gender is inscribed in AI-based computer
systems. By locating feminist theory in relation to science
and technology studies, Adam argues that feminist
epistemology, in its treatment of the knowing subject and
the nature of knowledge, rationality and language, can make
a serious contribution to and provide a richer critique of
AI.
