Atlas of AI : power, politics, and the planetary costs of artificial intelligence
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning science, and technology, scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind 'automated' services, to the data AI collects from us. This book reveals how this planetary network is fuelling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequality. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use AI to reshape the world.

The hidden costs of artificial intelligence, from natural
resources and labor to privacy and freedom What happens
when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes
the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and
our societies? In this book Kate Crawford reveals how this
planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance
and increased inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of
research, award-winning science, and technology, Crawford reveals
how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals
needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited
workers behind \"automated\" services, to the data AI collects from
us. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms,
Crawford offers us a political and a material perspective on what
it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong.
While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity, they are
always systems of power. This is an urgent account of what is at
stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to
reshape the world.
