The field of AI, having grown out of the sciences, has maintained science's prejudice against subjectivity. Even though AI researchers have been using introspection throughout the short history of the field, they never did so consciously. The people who promoted Subjectivity and Introspection limited themselves to critiquing AI from the outside, e.g. Dreyfus's "What Computers can't do" (1979). This talk aims to find new avenues to allow subjectivity to make a tangible, programmable, contribution to AI.
