Today, almost 70 years after Alan Turing famously asked, "Can machines think?," what we call "artificial intelligence," or AI, has seemingly come to penetrate our everyday life. It is in our phones, our homes, our workplaces, our modes of transportation, our schools, our welfare system. And while it remains unclear what AI really is, or can be, it is undeniably capturing the imagination of governments, corporations, and individuals alike. The idea of AI is mobilizing vast amounts of resources public and private, for research, innovation, and new policies. As such, it affects the politics of knowledge production on a grand scale: as we all race to get ahead in the "global AI race"--to not fall behind in the "fourth industrial revolution," to create the next big innovation, to get a slice of the ever-growing AI funding pie--we become complicit in the creation of a dangerously totalizing narrative, one that positions AI as inevitably determining our collective future, for better or for worse. In so doing, we reinforce a rising fear: that the rise of AI is synonymous with a robot takeover: "AI will take our jobs, before it takes over entirely as our new artificial overlord--that is the biggest threat AI poses to society!"
