 Bringing together experts from across the computational and
cultural fields to explore the meaning and impact of artificial
intelligence on our future, Atlas of AI combines essays, fiction and
imagery to tell new stories about the most important innovation of
the 21st century. Artificial intelligence is beginning to inhabit
everything around us, from the mobile phone to the automobile: its
integration into everyday services signals a profound societal shift
enabling ever more new possibilities and greater efficiencies. As a
result, we increasingly defer our decision-making to machines.
Despite the sudden surge in AI's adoption, its history is as curious as
it is complex, drawing from many traditions and fields such as
mathematics, linguistics, biology, philosophy and computer science.
The Atlas of AI bring together these diverse threads in a single
volume that charts defining concepts of AI from mind and
consciousness through to automation and first contact. Taking the
reader on an exploratory adventure through the strange past, present
and future of artificial intelligence, the Atlas of AI's diverse range of
international contributors narrate what we might imagine artificial
intelligence to be in the future, whilst elucidating the myths that
have shaped AI today. Bringing together over fifteen leading
thinkers and experts from across the scientific, computational and
cultural fields, Atlas of AI explores the meaning and impact of
artificial intelligence with unprecedented depth and insight. The
Atlas of AI draws on the historical organising logic of Aby
Warburg's atlas, combining essays, fiction and imagery to tell new
stories about the most important innovation of the 21st century.
Including contributions from Rana Dasgupta, Benjamin Bratton,
Jenna Sutela, Ramon Amaro, Yuk Hui, Noah Raford, Hans Ulrich
Obrist and more.
