The "hooks" it gives are totally framed in a pro-AI lens: Don't think AI will take jobs, here's how it will actually make life better.

An excellent example of AI bias and how it stands to influence thought & media production.
This is a GenAI tool in YT Studio to help creators get ideas for videos based on previous content. It gave me "The Future of Work: Automation and Human Purpose," which I expected to be totally different 🧵

Algorithms of Oppression -- @safiyanoble.bsky.social
This book is one of the best illustrations of how data (the internet, cloud, AI models) has structure, and that structure reflects the biases of those who make it. It shows you how search engines recreate racism and sexism by design decisions.

Less is More -- @jasonhickel.bsky.social
Degrowth is a strong counter to the idea that infinite growth is compatible with a sustainable life on our planet. AI is banking on more growth to fulfill its promises. Less is More reframes the idea that more extraction stops overextraction.

Data Feminism -- @kanarinka.bsky.social @laurenfklein.bsky.social
Data Feminism is the best introduction to issues of justice and data science. I assign chapters of this book in every course I teach. This book lays bare how some data-driven systems empower people and others oppress.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism -- Shoshana Zuboff
This now-classic work gives one of the best overviews of the political and economic incentives of Big Tech & how they’ve created a new profit model through mass surveillance.

I created a list of 5 books you can read to develop more critical takes on #AI, cutting through the hype. I have my students read most of these. Take a look at the list and let me know which other books you'd recommend!

The article describes a program called the Palantir "Meritocracy Fellowship," aimed at fixing fundamental flaws in higher education. They are hired for a four-month program where those who do well enough are hired full time at the surveillance company.

Well this is a nightmare. #palantir hiring high-schoolers to intentionally not go to college and instead learn to become a tech worker by working at the company. Problematic for so many reasons 🧵
