AI FAILS

AI is frequently lauded for its future promise and imaginaries. For the first issue of AI Yesterday, we invite submissions that consider AI that failed to live up to its promise, or failed in ways that were totally unexpected. What does failure mean when it comes to AI? Who takes responsibility for AI failures? Who does AI fail? Relating the digital to the physical, where are the sites of AI failures? What labour and techniques do AI failures mask?

Submissions Extended: 31 Dec 2020

We welcome topics from a range of disciplines and encourage experimentation. Some suggestions below include:

Algorithms (in)action
Mediating workplaces with AI
Designers/Users/Bystanders in AI systems
AI’s “PR” issues
Linear regression
