Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by Kate Crawford

5.0

Important book looking at the broader contexf of AI work, its dependencies and application. It offers many important critiques to actors from companies to states that are applying the technology without a sense of the potential risks.

The problem with the book is that it offers a critique that is impractical and unrealistic in its high ground standing. The style is typical of the kind of jiurnalistic expose’ that leaves you asking for a rational alternative.

Nevertheless this is a must read for anyone working with AI.
