Artificial Intelligence and Its Discontents

On what basis can we challenge Artificial Intelligence (AI) - its infusion, investment,  and implementation across the globe? This book answers this question by  drawing on a range of critical approaches from the social sciences and humanities,  including posthumanism, ethics and human values, surveillance studies, Black  feminism, and other strategies for social and political resistance. The authors  analyse timely topics, including bias and language processing, responsibility  and machine learning, COVID-19 and AI in health technologies, bio-AI and  nanotechnology, digital ethics, AI and the gig economy, representations of AI in  literature and culture, and many more. This book is for those who are currently  working in the field of AI critique and disruption as well as in AI development and  programming. It is also for those who want to learn more about how to doubt,  question, challenge, reject, reform and otherwise reprise AI as it been practiced  and promoted.
