AI is already in your home. Who decided that?
It arrived in our phones, our workplaces, our children’s media, and even our most intimate moments. But on whose terms? And who owns the machines underneath?
AI Everywhere, Volume 4 brings together 10 new chapters by women and nonbinary authors who refuse to treat those questions as an afterthought. Part of the She Writes AI Everywhere series of human-centered guides to living and working well in an age of intelligent machines, this volume explores the intersection of emerging technology, societal ethics, and diverse human perspectives.
You’ll learn how women around the world are deciding what to let in and what to refuse, and how to make those decisions in your own home and community. Our 12 authors from seven countries bring decades of combined hands-on experience with AI tools, and with knowing when not to use them. Their goal is to help all of us shape AI in turn, keeping our humanity front and center.
