Our new article shows that Critical AI Studies address race and gender more than class and capitalism. It stresses the need for integrating political economy critiques into AI research for a fuller understanding of its socio-economic, ecological, and political effects.

Happy to announce the publication of my new book "Critical Theory of AI" with Polity Press. In this thread, I share the takeaway points from its first chapter ('AI and critical theory'). 1. Technologies are political. AI is no exception.
