This paper interrogates the political and philosophical stakes of AI through the lens of Donna Haraway’s cyborg theory, Yuk Hui’s cosmotechnics, and Legacy Russell’s glitch feminism. It advocates for a tech-positive, critically situated approach to AI, as a collaborator and substrate for power relations rather than an autonomous agent of harm. By rejecting the naïve pause/stop narratives of the human-AI binary and embracing an explainable AI (XAI) artistic practice within embodied, intersectional, and community-rooted engagements, AI can empower diverse voices and foster ethical creativity. It starts by examining a frontier cybersecurity AI, situating its framing within AI public anxiety, and arguing for a new critical stance on human navigation in an AI world.
