About this Book:

Crawford reframes AI as infrastructure rather than technology, asking what it costs the planet and who bears those costs. For anyone rethinking engaged learning in this context, that shift in register, from pedagogy to political economy, is a necessary provocation, and one that sits in productive tension with government-level AI policy frameworks like the US AI Action Plan and the EU AI Act.
