Michael Spezio , Science; A Microsoft researcher unpacks the power and perils of today’s artificial intelligence
"Kate Crawford’s new book, Atlas of AI, is a sweeping view of artificial intelligence (AI) that frames the technology as a collection of empires, decisions, and actions that together are fast eliminating possibilities of sustainable futures on a global scale. Crawford, a senior principal researcher at Microsoft’s FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI) group, conceives of AI as a one-word encapsulation of imperial design, akin to Calder Willingham’s invocation of the word “plastics” in his 1967 screenplay for The Graduate (1). AI, machine learning, and other concepts are here understood as efforts, practices, and embodied material manipulations of the levers of global power."
