Toward a New Science of AI as Cognitive Infrastructure

The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary field called Cognitive Infrastructure Studies (CIS) to examine how AI systems act as invisible, foundational cognitive infrastructures that shape what people can know and do in digital societies. It argues that these infrastructures, through anticipatory personalization and adaptive invisibility, automate relevance judgments and shift epistemic agency to non‑human systems. CIS offers methodological tools, such as infrastructure breakdown experiments, to uncover the hidden cognitive dependencies created by AI preprocessing across individual, collective, and societal levels.

What If AI Carried Her Imagination? Black Girls as Creators in an AI Storytelling Weekend Program

This paper reports on a seven‑weekend AI storytelling program for Black girls aged 10‑12 that blends Afrofuturism and Black feminist thought with AI‑enabled counter‑storytelling. Participants brainstormed AI topics, crafted characters and plots, and presented collaborative stories, developing core AI literacies such as prompt engineering, bias critique, and data‑privacy awareness. The study found that the girls produced Afrofuturist narratives grounded in their identities and everyday experiences, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness in engaging them in computer science education.
