Kate Crawford presents Atlas of AI as a thoughtful academic anatomy of Artificial Intelligence. Though very well written (certainly with good alien editing work), it is more of a leftist journalist ‘investigation’ than a proper essay on AI. What is written by Kate Crawford about AI applies ‘pari passu’ to most technologies since the dawn of humanity. None of the conceptual criticism along the 240 pages of the book is demonstrated, notwithstanding the long and bureaucratic Bibliography and most useless notes. The permanent underlying ideological suspiciousness of the author against political power at large (though never mentioning East powers, like China or Russia), extractivist elites, inequality, labour exploitation, racism, and colonialism as a reason why we all should reject AI is an incredible exercise of futility and intellectual infantilism. It’s unbelievable. In a world of cancel culture and permanent fake theory, Atlas Of AI seems to be one more piece of anti-capitalist propaganda done by a typical spoiled representative of the system.
