<div>Many thanks to David Hemmendinger for a correction. Given there is only 2008 to 2022 content on MUSE for
<i>IEEE Annals</i> now, there seems to be a few years delay, but it is available now at IEEE Xplore. David also pointed out that it is available on the
<i>IEEE Annals</i> main page too as of today. (it was on Xplore a day earlier, yesterday). That CSDL
<i>IEEE Annals'</i> URL is: <a href="http://computer.org/annals" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">computer.org/annals</a> </div>

<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Wanted to share the news that our special issue of <i>IEEE Annals of the History of Computing</i> entitled "Automation by Design: Politics, Culture, and Landscape in an Age of Machines That Learn" came out yesterday!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is now available on IEEE Xplore and soon will be on MUSE too. Colette Perold and my historiographically-contextualizing article "Introduction to Automation by Design" is open access as are a few of the articles (IEEE Digital Library, link below as a
UMN z link, and many libraries subscribe to IEEE library & or MUSE where there is complete access). Special thanks to Honghong Tinn, who joined Colette, me, and Con on our 2023 CBI Symposium of the same name. It was an interdisciplinary event (History, STS,
Sociology, Media Studies...) and this issue represents select historical-oriented articles. Articles and authors are listed below.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It was so wonderful to partner with tremendously gifted colleagues/friends Colette and Con on this issue and an honor for us to work with such an incredibly talented group of article authors writing cutting edge scholarship on the history of automation/"artificial
intelligence"!!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks to <i>IEEE Annals</i> EiC Troy Astarte for helpful guidance throughout!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy holidays to everyone!</div>
