Abstract
This chapter makes an argument for a shift in focus from the bias of human centricity to that of technology centricity in the analysis of technology driven actor networks. The ‘4 moments of translation’ is used as a reference model to explain the emergence of technology as a focal actor in contemporary actor networks. The implications of technology centric actor networks on the 4 moments of translations and the sociology of Translation are discussed in the chapter. The chapter posits that the current approach toward analyzing Sociology of Translation, using the 4 moments of translation might not sufficient to explain translations led by Super AI in future.
