AI is getting a role in many parts of society, ranging from medical diagnostics to the judicial system, and from teaching and learning to warfare.

Rather than taking over, AI systems typically mediate human practices, interpretations, and decisions. The key question, therefore, is: how can we understand the mediating role of AI in human thinking and acting, and how to deal with this role in a responsible way?
