Alison Adam鈥檚 fascinating study of gender and artificial intelligence,
Artificial Knowing: gender and the thinking machine, examines theories of the
knower and the known which underlie attempts to create artificial intelligence,
in particular to Cyc database of 鈥渃ommon sense鈥� and the Soar architecture for
鈥渋ntelligent agents鈥�. She argues persuasively that their narrow, problem-solving
perspectives fail to encompass relational or embodied ways of knowing which have
traditionally been equated with women鈥檚 knowledge. Published by Routledge,
