Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence

The study's approach under-represents those with limited digital access or literacy, older adults, individuals outside higher education, and non-Western populations whose cultural frameworks for selfhood may differ substantially.

“Under-represented by this approach are those with limited digital access or literacy, older adults, individuals outside higher education, and non-Western populations whose cultural frameworks for selfhood may differ substantially [50].”

AI systems are founded on extraction infrastructures-data taken, labor concealed, and resources devoured.

“Crawford (2021) reminds us that artificial intelligence systems are founded on extraction infrastructures-data taken, labor concealed, and resources devoured.”

AI systems are taught on corpora that replicate dominant publishing patterns, many of which value clear structure and explicit takeaways.

“As Crawford (2021) points out, AI systems are taught on corpora that replicate dominant publishing patterns, many of which value clear structure and explicit takeaways.”

Global supply chains-including extraction of raw materials, manufacturing of semiconductor chips, and disposal of electronic waste-contribute substantially to AI's environmental cost, yet these distributed impacts remain difficult to track.

“Global supply chains-encompassing the extraction of raw materials, the manufacturing of semiconductor chips, and the disposal of electronic waste-also contribute substantially to AI's environmental cost, yet these distributed impacts remain notoriously difficult to track [24, 83].”

Some in HCI research embrace new creative tools to create AI Art, but others are skeptical of the hype from different perspectives, including disturbance of social orders, legality of style appropriation, and potential copyright infringement.

“Specifically in the field of HCI research, some embrace these new creative tools to create various AI Art, but others are skeptical of the hype from different perspectives [17], including the disturbance of social orders [44], the legality of style appropriation [38], and potential copyright infringement [18].”
