Kate Crawford’s recent book Atlas of AI (2021) debunks the many myths that surround the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) today. It 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 this book brings to the field.
