Abstract AI shares with earlier socially transformative technologies a reliance on limiting models of the “human” that embed racialized metrics for human achievement, expression, and progress. Many of these fundamental mindsets about what constitutes humanity have become institutionally codified, continuing to mushroom in design practices and research development of devices, applications, and platforms despite the best efforts of many well-intentioned technologists, scholars, policy-makers, and industries. This essay argues why and how AI needs to be much more deeply integrated with the humanities and arts in order to contribute to human flourishing, particularly with regard to social justice. Informed by decolonial, disability, and gender critical frameworks, some AI artist-technologists of color challenge commercial imperatives of “personalization” and “frictionlessness,” representing race, ethnicity, and gender not as normative self-evident categories nor monetized data points, but as dynamic social processes always indexing political tensions and interests.

寻找奇迹的迹象：人工智能、艺术与种族问题

摘要 人工智能与早期的社会变革技术一样，都依赖于限制“人类”模型，这些模型嵌入了人类成就、表达和进步的种族化指标。尽管许多善意的技术人员、学者、政策制定者和行业做出了最大的努力，但许多关于人类构成的基本思维方式已被制度化，并在设备、应用程序和平台的设计实践和研究开发中继续蓬勃发展。本文探讨了为什么以及如何人工智能需要更深入地与人文和艺术相结合，以促进人类繁荣，特别是在社会正义方面。了解非殖民主义、残疾和性别关键框架，
