This book, published by Edward Elgar provides an academic discussion on the various influences on AI including political, economic and social structures. A book preview provides the first chapter which has summaries of each of the chapters in the book.
The book is organised into 7 sections, each with many chapters. The sections are:
- AI and critical theory: conceptual discussions
- Imaginaries and discourses
- Political economy of AI: datafication and surveillance
- Transparency, ethics and regulation
- Bias, normativity and discrimination
- Politics and activism in AI
- AI and the automation of society
A book to dip in and out of. Chapters highlight the many implications of AI on society, work and human being. Hence, deploying AI in education is a double-edged sword. When (perhaps best beyond primary schooling), how (perhaps only when there is a good case that AI WILL support learning), what (with pre-requisite of strong underpinning critical thinking skills and perhaps some disciplinary foundations), and why (to support and enhance but not replace human thinking).
