Kate Crawford’s recent book Atlas of AI (2021) debunks the many myths that surround the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) today, myths that the AI industry feeds and indulges in passionately, primarily pushed by great economic interests.Footnote1 The Atlas of AI is a very timely and much-needed book, as experts and policymakers are currently engaged in many initiatives and discussions to regulate AI. Proper and effective governance of this technology will only be possible if it is grounded in the reality of AI, its materiality, socio-political context, and actual impacts on individuals, society, and the environment. This is precisely what Crawford brings to the field with her new book.
