Dear SIGCIS,
Also for the colleagues who have access to the ongoing virtual SHOT conference: Matthew Jones (author of a wonderful history of computing in the mechanical era -- https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/R/bo24836963.html) and myself are organizing a panel to invite attention to the long history of presenting machines as capable of artificial intelligence -- a history reaching back to the mechanical and electrical era of historical capitalism. The full panel below.
Best,
Aristotle
