Hey, my (non academic) friend asked me (as an academic) this yesterday: «Is there a book you’ve read that made you think, ‘I wish everyone had read this’?». Good question! I’m curious, what would you answer?

I’m participating in a panel on AI, academic freedom and human rights on Wednesday. What are your key worries in this regard or issues you think would be important to flag?

Ah these are excellent suggestions!!

I'll be teaching a BA-level course in critical AI studies (or AI as a media phenomenon). Which recent books on AI within media studies/sociology/humanities would you recommend for second year BA students?
