The Slippage of Artificial Intelligence

Sarah Edelman: The sign of artificial intelligence can get laden with capabilities and functionalities that belie the material infrastructure that underpins it. She says we're now in a moment where policymakers are considering different modes of intervention around AI, but without any sort of attachment to how these systems are actually being deployed in the world. "It's deeply concerning because the material infrastructure underpinning AI as it currently exists is very much entrenching the interests of a few tech companies," she says.
