An Artificial Revolution: On Power, Politics and AI (Mood Indigo) Paperback – October 1, 2020

Short but intense education on the key issues around AI. Key insights on bias (stop calling it bias - it is racism and sexism and discrimination), the effect of AI on women (not good, as it reflects and reinforces existing power structures) and the need for ethics based regulation, likely led by the EU.

Very structured context and understandable flow of information. The real reason beyond this success is that this book is unique in its way of connecting different scenarios to show you the real gap of the problem without influencing your thinking. It really shows you the other face of using AI, the silent third dimension of data harvesting. Ivana makes you think what is the consequences of your own biased thinking on the society and on your self in return. Really it is worth reading for all ages and levels.

Thought provoking especially the feminist issue

A book that cuts through a lot of the high level and alienating language of AI and data. This helps the reader understand the building blocks of how data, AI and machine learning are used, and then explores the enormous power they can wield, and what exactly we should be concerned with!A book for everyone interested in politics, equality, data, or just how our everyday lives are shaped.

I most enjoyed the details and examples given such as surveillance techniques being used in China. Appreciated the book wasn’t bloated and didn’t feel the need to follow the trend of most non fiction books having 250-400 words.
