Atlas of AI: power, politics, and the planetary costs of artificial intelligence
Crawford, Kate
Atlas of AI: power, politics, and the planetary costs of artificial intelligence - New Haven: Yale University Press, 2021. - 327p.: ill., maps; pbk.: 22cm.
Includes notes, bibliography, and index.
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression.
Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.
