This book brings together the work of historians and sociologists
with perspectives from media studies, communication studies,
cultural studies, and information studies to address the origins,
practices, and possible futures of contemporary machine learning.
From its foundations in 1950s and 1960s pattern recognition and
neural network research to the modern-day social and technological
dramas of DeepMind's AlphaGo, predictive political forecasting, and
the governmentality of extractive logistics, machine learning has
become controversial precisely because of its increased
embeddedness and agency in our everyday lives. How can we
disentangle the history of machine learning from conventional
histories of artificial intelligence? How can machinic agents'
capacity for novelty be theorized? Can reform initiatives for
fairness and equity in AI and machine learning be realized, or are
they doomed to cooptation and failure? And just what kind of
"learning" does machine learning truly represent? We empirically
address these questions and more to provide a baseline for future
research. Chapter 2 is available open access under a Creative
