Abstrakt: Tbis article provides an intellectual history of artificial intelligence in tbe electronic era of computing, tb£it is.from tbe postwar decades to tbe present. We argue for tbe existence of two periods; a first period, defined by tbe discourse of a post-industrial society and an information age, and a second one, cbaracterised by tbe discourse of afourtb industrial revolution. Discourses of a post-industrial society and afourtb industrial revolution are constitutively related to discourses of computer automation, wbicb, in turn, are defined by artificial intelligence. Tbis paper provides a canvas of an intellectual history of artificial intelligence in tbe electronic era through tbe examination of discourses of tbis period on computer automation.
