An interesting-looking book about AI

May 25, 2021

This looks interesting. The blurb on the Yale University Press website includes:

“Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.”
— YUP

I haven’t read this book yet, but it looks like it might help teachers address some aspects of the Computing Programme of Study:

From the description it sounds like it would help teachers to address the following aspects of the Computing Programme of Study:

Key Stage 3:

understand a range of ways to use technology safely, respectfully, responsibly and securely, including protecting their online identity and privacy; recognise inappropriate content, contact and conduct, and know how to report concerns

Key Stage 4:

understand how changes in technology affect safety, including new ways to protect their online privacy and identity, and how to report a range of concerns
