The Routledge Social Science Handbook of AI is a landmark volume providing students and teachers with a comprehensive and accessible guide to the major topics and trends of research in the social sciences of artificial intelligence, as well as surveying how the digital revolution – from supercomputers and social media to advanced automation and robotics – is transforming society, culture, politics and economy.

The Handbook provides representative coverage of the full range of social science engagements with the AI revolution, from employment and jobs to education and new digital skills to automated technologies of military warfare and the future of ethics. The reference work is introduced by editor Anthony Elliott, who addresses the question of relationship of the social sciences to artificial intelligence, and who surveys various convergences and divergences between contemporary social theory and the digital revolution.

The Handbook is exceptionally wide-ranging in span, covering topics all the way from AI technologies in everyday life to single-purpose robots throughout home and work life, and from the mainstreaming of human-machine interfaces to the latest advances in AI, such as the ability to mimic (and improve on) many aspects of human brain function.

A unique integration of social science on the one hand and new technologies of artificial intelligence on the other, this handbook offers readers new ways of understanding the rise of AI and its associated global transformations. Written in a clear and direct style, the Handbook is will appeal to a wide undergraduate audience.

L’anthropologie cognitive face aux robots

Séminaire Cognition & Langage de l'IDMC

17 février 2021

++ Résumé ++ 

Lors de cette séance, nous présenterons les principales approches mobilisées en anthropologie pour étudier l’interaction humain-robot. Nous montrerons comment la recherche anthropologique décrit les conditions de l’émergence du rôle référentiel joué par les machines dites intelligentes et quelle incidence celui-ci a sur les relations sociales. Pour ce faire nous tenterons de mettre en rapport des questions émergentes issues de la robotique et de l’intelligence artificielle avec des approches classiques de la théorie anthropologique. En abordant l’étude ethnographique de la conception des machines, l’esthétique particulière qu’elles produisent, et par conséquent des notions comme l’agentivité, l’étrangeté, l’ontologie, le symbolisme ou la pertinence dans la communication, nous envisagerons de manière critique les limites d’une perspective anthropologique de l’interaction homme-machine qui reste essentiellement centrée sur la ressemblance avec l’humain.
