Hey folks! I have a chance to promote new books on AI/tech that deserve attention this year. Looking for books that will offer a critical or novel perspective, not empty hype, and that are engaging for non-academics as well as researchers. Anything w/release date before August. What do you suggest? - ThreadSky

Hi Shannon. I'm currently editing the 'Handbook of Critical Studies of Artificial Intelligence and Education', due for submission in May. Here's a link to the call for chapters: https://www.edtech.ut.ee/csaied/handbook-of-csaied/ Some of your Edinburgh colleagues are involved. Please say if you'd like to learn more.

Hi Shannon, my book just came out! It discusses how AI's use by public authorities can erode the rule of law, against the background of global rule of law-backsliding - also in liberal democracies! (with CUP: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/algorithmic-rule-by-law/DB549609A55E92DB12157CC965C2CF84)

Could I ask you to consider my book God-like: A 500-Year History of AI? It’s both - I hope - novel and critical, and an urgent plea to look at the deeper human desires that have made us so desperate to create this technology… and what they might tell us about how to live alongside it, and flourish.

These aren’t books, but I think these are critical concepts uncommonly covered: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39055320/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38060133/

Louis Berman's book about the risks of existential catastrophe from advanced AI https://xriskbooks.com/#

A lot to critique in it, but Afterlife of Data is a pretty good read https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo209942751.html
