The disciplines of AI ethics and political philosophy focus on many of the same issues, but only rarely do we see the rich history of the latter discipline being used to make sense of the politics of AI. Coeckelbergh provides a welcome exception with this important book. Henrik Skaug Sętra, Ųstfold University College
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally political, and this book illuminates why. It spans the debates about inequality, democracy, power, and posthumanism, and shows the importance of social and political theory to understanding AI. Kate Crawford, author of Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence
Coeckelbergh[ s] [ ] real focus is on showing a few thousand years worth of philosophical thought will not automatically become obsolete through feats of digital engineering. Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed
Coeckelberghs book is a muchneeded introduction of how to relate political philosophy to fields and disciplines concerned with the reflection on technology. Michael W.Schmidt, Journal for Technology Assessment in Theory and Practice
