- DescriptionArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are already playing a powerful role in our everyday lives—whether that’s the devices we use daily or facial-recognition software trained on Internet databases—but they can often seem abstract and opaque.. . . . During this talk, AI expert and award-winning author Kate Crawford demystifies AI to show us how it’s “made” in the fullest sense: from data, human labor, and environmental resources. She draws from her 20 years of AI research around the world, as well as her journeys to field sites—from lithium mines to Amazon warehouses, or to Jeff Bezos’ rocket base. Crawford maps the costs of AI that are usually hidden from public view. She reveals how AI is amplifying discrimination and inequality and offers paths forward for research and policy that address the political, social, and economic effects of AI. As one of the foremost researchers on the impact of artificial intelligence, Crawford helps us understand how AI works, what’s at stake for us and our democracy, and how we can carve a fairer way forward.
