Publisher's Synopsis

On what basis can we challenge Artificial Intelligence (AI) - its infusion, investment, 

and implementation across the globe? This book answers this question by 

drawing on a range of critical approaches from the social sciences and humanities, 

including posthumanism, ethics and human values, surveillance studies, Black 

feminism, and other strategies for social and political resistance. The authors 

analyse timely topics, including bias and language processing, responsibility 

and machine learning, COVID-19 and AI in health technologies, bio-AI and 

nanotechnology, digital ethics, AI and the gig economy, representations of AI in 

literature and culture, and many more. This book is for those who are currently 

working in the field of AI critique and disruption as well as in AI development and 

programming. It is also for those who want to learn more about how to doubt, 

question, challenge, reject, reform and otherwise reprise AI as it been practiced 

and promoted.
