This interdisciplinary collection challenges Western-centric narratives by positioning China as a critical site for understanding the evolution and future of artificial intelligence. Through a diverse assembly of historians, philosophers, and artists, the volume examines how culturally specific traditions and speculative thought experiments intersect with the emergence of novel, non-reducible forms of machine cognition. It offers a rigorous inquiry into the tension between planetary technological integration and the persistence of cultural difference.
