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

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Really different perspective on AI than what I've seen in other books, and the most comprehensive walk through the entire infrastructure that supports AI systems. Reading was a bit slow but I think that was necessary to accommodate the breadth of sources and examples. In parts it read almost like true crime, that's how egregious some of the stories were. I'm happy I own this so I can go back and refresh my memory on some of the facts presented.

I also recommend the audiobook, I listened to part of the book that way and I think it helped me understand some of the denser concepts.
