Special Issue “Celebrating 60 Years of ELIZA? Critical Pasts and Futures of AI”

August 22, 2025

The Weizenbaum Journal of the Digital Society (WJDS) calls for papers for a special issue marking the 60th anniversary of ELIZA, one of the first chatbots developed by Joseph Weizenbaum. Co-edited by Christian Strippel (Weizenbaum Institute, Berlin) and Magnus Rust (University of Basel), the special issue invites interdisciplinary contributions exploring ELIZA’s legacy and its relevance to current debates on AI, including topics such as the anthropomorphization, commercialization, gendering, and mythologization of AI technologies.
