Critical Theory of AI

‘This is a powerfully curated discussion that weaves together established and emerging scholarship, and hones conceptual tools for all those who want to understand the techno status quo with greater clarity and insight. Essential reading.’ Ruha Benjamin, author of Race After Technology and Viral Justice ‘In this book, Lindgren shows the enduring relevance of critical theory’s melding of philosophical insight and the demands of social justice. Critical Theory of AI surveys and re-contextualizes some of the most important contemporary critical work on AI, both rooting it in classic philosophy of technology, and showing how AI requires us to revise and extend that tradition. Rich with insights on the nature of AI and accessible to a wide audience, Critical Theory of AI is a compelling read.’ Frank Pasquale, Cornell University
