AI and the Everyday: An Introduction to Focussing on Everyday Interactions of AI How can we highlight new ways in which researchers can further their engagement with AI in the Global South? During a workshop titled Public Debates, Everyday Injustice, and AI in the Majority World, a group of researchers and activists discussed how researchers should take power asymmetries, hierarchies, and inequalities into account, both across and within the global South. This introductory article kicks off the online continuation of their discussion. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Focussing on ‘the everyday’ gives us valuable insights into how AI shapes routine interactions in sites of work, leisure, education, and homes. It shows us the pervasiveness of AI-technologies and the various ways in which people negotiate it. Insights into the everyday provide an understanding of the messiness and the ambiguities that shape people’s responses to AI as they encounter its development, deployment, and use. In many of these interactions, engagements with AI are nested within discussions of opportunity, aspiration, and hope. These discussions are situated within a context where states and corporations propel a narrative of the inevitability of AI. However, people engage with AI from different standpoints. These standpoints include people's engagement with AI as actors with the agency to subvert, resist, and creatively challenge or use the power of AI, but also as those who are used, surveilled, and dominated through the ubiquitous use of AI-systems. What kinds of relations emerge with the use of AI? How can one capture and understand these relations? In this piece, we introduce and reflect on entries from an article symposium that arose from a workshop titled Public Debates, Everyday Injustice, and AI in the Majority World. These entries explore how people negotiate with AI in a
