Challenging AI Hype and Tech Industry Power | Book Talk
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not magic or sentient; it does not even describe one coherent set of technologies. In two new books, Emily M. Bender, Alex Hanna, and Karen Hao explore how AI instead serves as a powerful marketing tool for tech giants who have a product to sell and profits to rake in. On June 6 — in a conversation moderated by Tamara Kneese, director of Data & Society’s Climate, Technology, and Justice program — these authors explored AI’s impact on our environment and society, and the motivations of the tech elite that build and shape it.
