Are different ways of developing machine learning possible? Maybe, but hardly under current political and economic conditions. Many critiquing AI remember the promises once attached to the open web – actively destroyed by the very same actors now pushing AI 6/

In its current form, what is called AI – again, not reducible machine learning technologies – is a product of platform capitalism, and its large-scale implementation is used to solidify dominant and increasingly monopolistic power and property relations. Of course, this has to be rejected 5/

What is called AI today is, in some ways, the combination of big data, machine learning and the ideology of scaling. In this respect, AI is not merely a technology (that would be machine learning), but an assemblage of cultural, economical, infrastructural and ideological dimensions 3/

A frustrated letter from the Library of Congress asking Norbert Weiner what section of a library his book is supposed to be in (1949).

DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D. C.
Dec. 2, 1949
Dr. Norbert Wiener
Mass. Institute of Technology Cambridge, Nass.
My dear Dr. Wiener:
The publication of your book on Cybernetics has caused the editorial staff which is in charge of the revision of the Dewey Decimal Classification considerable difficulty. We are in the position of being asked by sincere inquirers as to how to classify the book and by less sincere people who like to confront supposedly expert classifiers with problems which they are quite certain are beyond our capabilities. Quite frankly, cybernetics is. We have read and reread reviews and explanations of the content of your book and have even tried to understand the book itself, only to become more uncertain as to what field it falls into. I am appealing to you as the one person who should be able to tell us.
Possibly you already know that the Dewey Decimal Classification attempts to assign a number to the subject content of books. Generally speaking, a book can only be assigned one number and consequently we cannot take care of the many aspects that certain works cover. The problem must be simplified and consequently, is your book such as to place it in psychology? Does it belong in the field of electronic computation devices or does it belong in mathematics?
If we were not somewhat desperate about this particular problem, I should hesitate to bother you with it.
Cordially yours,
Esther P. Potter
Director
