The editors would like to thank everyone who made this collection of essays come to life. We are grateful to Adelphi University’s Manhattan Institute for Studies of STEM and the Imagination (MIXI) for funding and hosting the original conference, named “Learning Under Algorithmic Conditions,” where the idea for this book was seeded. We wish to acknowledge that the conference and book draw on research supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. We also thank the Gordon Institute for Advanced Study, Teachers College, Columbia University, for supporting the formative event. Thank you to Sam Sellar who was involved in planning from the early days. We are grateful for the financial support from our three universities—Adelphi University, University of British Columbia, and Teachers College, Columbia University—for helping publish this book as open source. We mightily appreciate the editorial team at the University of Minnesota Press, for their support throughout this process, and their commitment to publishing important and innovative scholarship. Finally, the editors would like to express their gratitude to all the chapter authors who joined this collaborative effort and shared their deep insights into current AI conditions.
