Have big tech scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to put authors, artists, and others out of business? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?The answer to these questions, linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna make clear, is no, they wish, LOL, and definitely not. This kind of thinking is a symptom of a phenomenon known as AI hype. Hype looks and smells fishy: It twists words and helps the rich get richer by justifying data theft, motivating surveillance capitalism, and devaluing human creativity in order to replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. In The AI Con, Bender and Hanna offer a sharp, witty, and wide-ranging take-down of AI hype across its many forms.Bender and Hanna show you how to spot AI hype, how to deconstruct it, and how to expose the power grabs it aims to hide. Armed with these tools, you will be prepared to push back against AI hype at work, as a consumer in the marketplace, as a skeptical newsreader, and as a citizen holding policymakers to account. Together, Bender and Hanna expose AI hype for what it is: a mask for Big Techs drive for profit, with little concern for who it affects....6979508The AI Con404493https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-ai-con-9780063418554/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6923030/image.jpg?v=638764779649300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
