Dear colleagues,
The *Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *has just published,
early view, a thematic cluster of articles edited by Webb Keane and myself,
entitled "Linguistic Anthropology of AI." The cluster contains:
-- Webb Keane and Constantine Nakassis. "Introduction: towards a linguistic
anthropology of AI <https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9655.70131>.”
https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9655.70131.
-- Courtney Handman. "Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of
non-human worlds." http://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9655.70132
-- Beth Semel. "‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs
in the making of language-oriented AI."
http://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9655.70135
-- Ilana Gershon. "Linguistic anthropology of AI: an afterword."
https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9655.70134
Enjoy!
(As an aside: *JRAI *is interested to publish more work in linguistic
anthropology, so do consider the journal as one of the many available for
linguistic anthropologists looking to publish their work for a wider
anthropological audience.)
All best,
Costas
