We are kicking off the THE AI CON book tour with a virtual launch event with @DAIR!

.@Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her) and I are ecstatic to have received a STARRED review in LibraryJournal!
"Documenting how “mathy maths” AI applications are produced and idealized as useful and thoughtfully critiquing the social, cultural, and technological systems that structure this so-called intelligence, Bender and Hanna have constructed a thorough, witty, and accessible argument against AI that meets the moment."
Emily and I are SO excited to have been picked to be a LibraryReads notable nonfiction book! LibraryReads is a list put together by public librarians all around the country.
We see libraries and librarians as important institutions in helping us push back against AI hype, and so this is quite the distinction.
