| Description: |
"Checketts offers a searing critique of both AI enthusiasts and doomsayers, arguing that their utopian and dystopian futures leave the poor and marginalized of the world invisible and voiceless. He argues that AI optimizes capitalist, first-world, patriarchal, and instrumental values, to which he contrasts an alternative technology framed from the worldview and lifeworld of the poor and oppressed, a 'poor AI' that enhances rather than transcends our common humanity.
It is a fascinating and informative read, especially relevant in light of the recent controversies around the need to regulate generative AI such as ChatGPT, as well as a timely critique of the millennial mirage of 'effective altruism'".
--Timothy Clancy, SJ, associate professor of philosophy, Gonzaga University |
