Intelligence & Semantics Editorial Review
"The Atlas of AI" by Kate Crawford is an interesting and informative book that provides a unique perspective on artificial intelligence. While the book does have good writing and presents some compelling arguments against the current application of AI, it may not be for everyone due to its slow pace and long-winded explanations. The author presents a biased view of AI, focusing on its drawbacks such as the use of rare materials in its production and inaccurate training data, while also acknowledging its benefits such as automatic translation and medical research. The book provides an in-depth history of AI and science which readers may find enjoyable. Overall, "The Atlas of AI" is a thought-provoking and informative read for those interested in AI and its impact on society and the environment.
