Kate Crawford is an Australian-American scholar, author, and researcher specialising in the social and political implications of artificial intelligence. She is a senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research and a research professor at USC Annenberg. Her book Atlas of AI reveals the hidden costs of artificial intelligence — from the mines where rare earth minerals are extracted to the exploited workers who label training data — challenging the idea that AI is immaterial or neutral. The book has been widely praised for its rigorous, interdisciplinary analysis. Available as an audiobook and in print, Atlas of AI is essential reading and listening for anyone seeking to understand the real-world consequences of the technology shaping our future.
