Drawing on participatory field research in four cities, the authors discuss how AI manifests as an "absent presence" in urban environments, the "reciprocity deficits" that lead to distrust and conspiracy thinking as prominent tropes in everyday public discourse about AI.

Over the last decade, city streets have emerged as a primary site where everyday publics are confronted with new, machine-learning based technologies - in the form of automated cars, smart traffic lights, facial recognition, smart billboards, and the like.

In many collaborative processes, AI is shifting from a tool for automation to an active collaborator. Yet, the notion of AI agency remains at the margins of most research on human–AI collaboration. The authors propose a conceptual design space for reasoning about agency in collaborative systems.
