Yarden Katz. Artificial Whiteness: Politics and Ideology in Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: It has been said that, by standing on the shoulders of giants, one gets to see further, and in Artificial Whiteness, Yarden Katz stands on the shoulders of various figures in critical race theory and other disciplines to mount a critique of artificial intelligence for its alleged complicity with imperialism, capitalism, and the maintenance, expansion, and refinement of white supremacy.Setting the tone of the book from the very outset as an exploration of the politics and ideology rather than the history of AI,… Show more
