Man Made: How the Bias of the Past Is Being Built Into the Future by Tracey Spicer
1.0
Unclear where to start here: easily one of the worst books I've read in the last year.
Does AI/tech have a bias problem where it's encoding current or historical systems of oppression into "the future"? Yes. Does this book add any value to the current debate? No.
Spicer repackages a bunch of information and data (that she isn't an expert in or even the original interviewer for) for the worse. In between every second sentence of snarky remarks (her language, not even mine), there's a fact and then an extrapolation or interconnection without much basis for said conclusion.
Would strongly not recommend and even detailing more reasons as to why would only add to time lost from having read this.
