📖 Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs
EventOnline
Join us for the UX book club on Tuesday, June 9, where we’ll chat about the book Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by
Kate Crawford.
//ABOUT THE BOOK //
What happens when AI takes over politics and harms the planet? How is AI changing the way we see ourselves and each other? Based on over ten years of research, scholar Kate Crawford proposes that AI is built on mining the earth for minerals, relying on poorly paid workers, and collecting data from everything we do and say.
