I’d like to read more about Artificial Intelligence with particular reference to the impact on elections, politics in general and society at large. I’m already aware of the work of the Turing Institute but I’m hoping Mastodon geekdom can point me to other references.

I’m not looking for complicated technical stuff - just need to be better informed (despite me avoiding using it myself if at all possible)

Can anyone help please?

Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000: The Newsletter

Artificial Intelligence has too much hype. In this companion newsletter, linguist Prof. Emily M. Bender and sociologist Dr. Alex Hanna break down the AI hype, separate fact from fiction, and science from bloviation. They talk about everything "AI", from machine consciousness to science fiction, to political economy to art made by machines.
