Fears of artificial intelligence-induced apocalypse and Terminator conundrums reveal an enduring puzzle concerning the prospects for human prosperity and security in an automated global political economy. This puzzle reflects human fear of the unknown and the unpredictability of technological change. Each contribution herein, constitutes brief interventions intended to provoke reflection, deliberation, and investigation into the practical implications to human affairs presented by the advent of autonomous robots, artificial intelligence, and, more generally, automated and autonomous information technologies. Our objective is to emphasize that understanding how human affairs will affect and be effected by such technologies must include, in addition to theory, an analysis of how automated and autonomous information technologies may alter practices of human affairs. |
