What's the cost of AI living rent-free in our heads?

🚨 New piece out in 4S Backchannels 🚨

~24% of last year's 4S papers were about AI (I counted).

An entire field devoted to the social scientific study of science and technology-and 24% of us chose AI. Including me.

Yes, there's lots of good critical work out there, but there's a cost to giving it this much regard at all.

As STS folks like to say, It matters what matters we think other matters with.
