Atlas de IA: Poder, política y costes planetarios de la inteligencia artificial

Who are the agents involved in creating meaning in artificial intelligence? Are these results scientifically indisputable truths? Who benefits from AI solutions being taken as absolute benchmarks in cutting-edge technology? What is the cost to individuals? And to the planet?
This work is the result of more than ten years of research into large-scale data extraction, both in terms of its material cost—exploitation of rare earth mines, endangered trees, subsidized resources such as water and electricity, exploitation of labor—and the strategies underlying the dominance of a technology that perpetuates power and its social and cultural biases.
A puzzle where each piece is dissected and analyzed with scientific meticulousness; a fascinating map of the greedy exploitation of natural resources, workers treated without scruples, a selection of information biased from the moment it is collected, and a pact between states and private companies that ignore the responsibilities involved in the extraction and processing of private information lacking context. In this book, the author offers us an entertaining explanation of why artificial intelligence is neither intelligent nor artificial.
