Summary
"In a world characterised by insecurity fuelled by factors including neoliberalism, financial viability, political instability, regional wars, the pandemic, and the climate crisis, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming our work, organisations, societies, and the natural environment. But, this critical new text asks, who really benefits and how from the development and deployment of AI. In addition to providing readers with an essential overview of the nature, history, and applications of AI, it examines important themes including the future of work, digitalization, the impact of neoliberalism and financialization, power relations, ethics, inequality, gender, race, and intersectional discrimination, and environmental sustainability. This interdisciplinary text is essential reading for students studying contemporary and emerging issues in business and management, including AI, business analytics, digitalization, and the future of work, or as recommended reading for courses on the sociology of work, ethics, organization studies, management, leadership, and HRM." -- Provided by publisher.
