An Artificial Revolution by Ivana Bartoletti
AI has unparalleled transformative potential to reshape society, our economies and our working lives, but without legal scrutiny, international oversight and public debate, we are sleepwalking into a future written by algorithms which encode racist, sexist and classist biases into our daily lives - an issue that requires systemic political and cultural change to productively address. Bartoletti exposes the reality of the AI revolution, from the low-paid workers who toil to train algorithms to recognise cancerous polyps, to the rise of techno-racism and technochauvinism and the symbiotic relationship between AI and right wing populism. An Artificial Revolution is an essential primer to understand the intersection of technology and geopolitical forces shaping the future of civilisation.Review: An Artificial Revolution
‘This is a great read, giving you enough information to perhaps inspire you to look into this further, or to just consider where your data is held and what it is being used for’

‘We cannot leave AI and its future to the technologists. AI is about power, and this is the time to ensure that power benefits us all. I wrote An Artificial Revolution because I wanted people to talk about AI at the kitchen table.’

‘What are governments and corporations doing with the data they are collecting, and what is the ultimate end goal? As Ivana Bartoletti states in her recent book An Artificial Revolution On Power, Politics and AI, “Data is not neutral, and the fact that we collect a huge amount of it brings many challenges – not just from the standpoint of privacy but also from the standpoint of power dynamics”.’
