Artificial Intelligence and Its Discontents : Critiques from the Social Sciences and Humanities

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.
