Introduction: Ordering of Human-Artificial Intelligent Constructs

Abstract

The Ordering of Human-Artificial Intelligent (AI) Constructs symposium in Volume 8(2) of Law, Technology and Humans does one simple, yet entirely immodest, thing. It is trying to shift the frame of how law, humans and AI is being understood. This introduction argues that contemporary AI-law discourses rest upon particular imaginaries of order and legal ordering. It outlines these dominant imaginaries as well as why the framework-shifting work is necessary. And it showcases how more relational, creative, and socio-technically grounded understandings of AI-human constructs allow for new ways of understanding what order and ordering is and can be, as well as the many possibilities such new imaginaries open for reimagining legal order(ing) in the present-future.
