An excellent read for those interested in history, technology, and the global scale of digital communication. Appropriate for both casual and professional audiences.
Documenting how “mathy maths” AI applications are produced and idealized as useful and thoughtfully critiquing the social, cultural, and technological systems that structure this so-called intelligence, Bender and Hanna have constructed a thorough, witty, and accessible argument against AI that meets the moment.
The classic dystopian fear of AI and VR somehow replacing human society, supplanting human autonomy, or stifling human independence lurks just beneath Susskind’s unflappable tone, but this is not a book of woe; it is a book of “what if?”. Addressing benefits and possible harms, Susskind focuses on the questions readers need to ask to think more clearly and more humanly about AI.
A must-read for anyone interested in technology and artificial intelligence; will also be engaging for memoir lovers.
A key addition to collections, this is more than just another tech book: it’s a guide to navigating the era of AI with awareness, and the writing encourages readers to think critically about how humans interact with the technology.
A wide-ranging, heartfelt, and solidly grounded assertion of the role of art in shaping humanity’s view of the possible. For literary scholars, general readers, and creators of art that deals with the climate crisis, conservation, and the planet’s future.
