41. Plans and Situated Actions, Suchman, 1987.

  • Author looked at how people attempt to accomplish their goals
  • Her theories led to changed in the way people thought about and discussed artificial intelligence
  • She believed that the way we've approached thinking about AI is "misguided" because we think of it in human-terms, in other words, instead of thinking of AI as a separate entity, we are theorizing about it naturally in relation to how our own, real-life brains work/act.
  • Navigation looks at the difference between "the planning and situated action perspectives"
  • Interactive Artifacts looks at what interactivity means and who AI can be looked at historically
  • People and machines have to be seen as separate entities
