An interdisciplinary, cross-cultural collection that redefines how we think about artificial intelligence today—and what it might become.
Machine Decision is Not Final brings together historians, media theorists, science-fiction writers, philosophers, and artists from China and beyond to explore the nation’s deep and complex engagement with AI. Moving beyond familiar clichés, this collection examines AI not only as a technological phenomenon but as a cultural and philosophical question.
At a time when visions of AI veer between planetary cooperation and a new Cold War, this book tracks the history of Chinese AI—from pre-Cultural Revolution experiments to contemporary debates on facial recognition and ethics—while also engaging with speculative futures. Using China as a touchstone, the essays rethink what we mean by "artificiality" and "intelligence," and highlight how culturally specific models and philosophies shape our global understanding of AI.
Topics include:
Featuring contributions from leading voices including Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Benjamin Bratton, Xia Jia, Chen Quifan, Reza Negarestani, Lawrence Lek, and many more, this volume spans borders, histories, and imaginaries. Machine Decision is Not Final is both a timely reappraisal of AI’s global stakes and a guide to constructing new futures for technology and society.
