Learning Under Algorithmic Conditions charts the shifting terrain of cognition and thought in the age of artificial intelligence. Providing historical and philosophical context, this innovative volume elucidates the impact of machine learning technologies on practices of knowledge production and sheds light on how learning has become newly envisioned, machinic, and more-than-human.
