SUMMARY:WiCyS April Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Atlas of AI: Power\, Politics\, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence\nby Kate Crawford \nWhat happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research\, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression. \nCrawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms\, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth \nThe daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius\,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching\, business consulting\, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius\, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. \nIn Grit\, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point\, teachers working in some of the toughest schools\, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally\, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. \n“Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned\, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing\, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal\, insightful\, and even life-changing\, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down\, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal). \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS December Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Your Face Belongs to Us: A Secretive Startup’s Quest to End Privacy as We Know It by Kashmir Hill \nNew York Times tech reporter Kashmir Hill was skeptical when she got a tip about a mysterious app called Clearview AI that claimed it could\, with 99 percent accuracy\, identify anyone based on just one snapshot of their face. The app could supposedly scan a face and\, in just seconds\, surface every detail of a person’s online life: their name\, social media profiles\, friends and family members\, home address\, and photos that they might not have even known existed. If it was everything it claimed to be\, it would be the ultimate surveillance tool\, and it would open the door to everything from stalking to totalitarian state control. Could it be true? \nIn this riveting account\, Hill tracks the improbable rise of Clearview AI\, helmed by Hoan Ton-That\, an Australian computer engineer\, and Richard Schwartz\, a former Rudy Giuliani advisor\, and its astounding collection of billions of faces from the internet. The company was boosted by a cast of controversial characters\, including conservative provocateur Charles C. Johnson and billionaire Donald Trump backer Peter Thiel—who all seemed eager to release this society-altering technology on the public. Google and Facebook decided that a tool to identify strangers was too radical to release\, but Clearview forged ahead\, sharing the app with private investors\, pitching it to businesses\, and offering it to thousands of law enforcement agencies around the world. \nFacial recognition technology has been quietly growing more powerful for decades. This technology has already been used in wrongful arrests in the United States. Unregulated\, it could expand the reach of policing\, as it has in China and Russia\, to a terrifying\, dystopian level.\n\nYour Face Belongs to Us is a gripping true story about the rise of a technological superpower and an urgent warning that\, in the absence of vigilance and government regulation\, Clearview AI is one of many new technologies that challenge what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once called “the right to be let alone.” \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS October Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil \nWe live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly\, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school\, whether we can get a job or a loan\, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans\, but by machines. In theory\, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules. \nBut as mathematician and data scientist Cathy O’Neil reveals\, the mathematical models being used today are unregulated and uncontestable\, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling\, they reinforce discrimination—propping up the lucky\, punishing the downtrodden\, and undermining our democracy in the process. Welcome to the dark side of Big Data. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS August Book Club
DESCRIPTION:An insightful exploration of what social media\, AI\, robot technology\, and the digital world are doing to our relationships with each other and with ourselves. \nThere’s no doubt that technology has made it easier to communicate. It’s also easier to shut someone out when we are confronted with online discourse. Why bother to understand strangers―or even acquaintances―when you can troll them\, block them\, or just click “Unfriend” and never look back? However briefly satisfying that might be\, it’s also potentially eroding one of our most human traits: empathy. \nSo what does the future look like when something so vital to a peaceful\, healthy\, and productive society is fading away? The cautionary\, yet hopeful\, answer is in this champion for an endangered emotion. \nIn The Future of Feeling\, Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips shares her own personal stories as well as those of doctors\, entrepreneurs\, teachers\, journalists\, and scientists about moving innovation and technology forward without succumbing to isolation. This book is for anyone interested in how our brains work\, how they’re subtly being rewired to work differently\, and what that ultimately means for us as humans. \nRegister HERE
