书籍简介:
An urgent book that reveals how the extractive systems of
artificial intelligence are remaking our world—with profound
political consequences
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 original 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. She persuasively argues that this network is fueling
a shift toward undemocratic governance. This book is an eye-opening story
of how a few are making powerful infrastructures, at the expense of the many.
Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a
planetary perspective on what it takes to make AI. The window of opportunity
for change is rapidly closing and the stakes—for justice, due process, and democratic participation—could not be higher.
