With the explosive hype around AI, it is easy to forget that the term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1955 and is old enough to qualify for Social Security. Yet the contemporary moment in AI would have us forget history, humans, and power.
This is why Critical Theory of AI by Simon Lindgren is an important book. It is what its title says: a productive critique through the critical theory of the power structures behind, underneath, atop, and around AI. Lindgren, Professor of Sociology at Umeå University in northern Sweden, offers a clear, clever, well-traced, and thoughtful application of critical theory to AI, taking a magnifying glass to AI’s hype and offering a highly productive framework for critique.
