I’m totally down for this definition of AI by Ericson et al 😂
reads: Artificial intelligence (AI), referring to machine learning, large language models, image generators, and assorted emerging and long-existing computational and algorithmic systems, is a term currently used by self-proclaimed futurologists and marketers alike, who have great success in building unjustified hype around these digital products and services.

In this new article, Agnes Liminga and I explored data activism discourses revealing two distinct strands: social justice advocates vs. established elites. This division raises questions about who is truly driving the data justice agenda https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517241266416

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.
