Meeting KI-Postdocs: ‘AI in a different voice'
"Rethinking computers, learning, and gender difference at MIT in the 1980s"
(Dr. Apolline Taillandier)
This paper explores the “critical” AI projects developed around the Lego community at MIT in the mid-1980s. While a rich scholarship studies how programming and AI were made masculine, little has been said about those AI practitioners who drew on literary criticism and feminist epistemologies with the hope to overcome the “technocentric
stage of computer discourse” and undo gender hierarchies underlying computer cultures and programming experimental standards.
