Enabling 'AI'? The situated production of commensurabilities

Abstract:
How can we examine so-called 'artificial intelligence' ('AI') without turning our backs on the STS tradition that questions both notions of artificiality and intelligence? This special issue attempts a step to the side: Instead of considering 'AI' as something that does or does not exist (and then taking a position on its benefits or harms), its ambition is to document, in an empirical and agnostic way, the performances that make, sometimes, 'AI' appear or disappear in situation. And it comes out, from this perspective, that 'AI' could be considered a vast commensuration undertaking.
