Silicon Valley titans, politicians, techno-futurists and social critics have united in arguing that we are living on the cusp of an era of rapid technological automation, heralding the end of work as we know it. But does the much-discussed "rise of the robots" really explain the worsening jobs crisis? In Automation and

What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence" - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the

pWith over 300 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, and with emergencies and climate disasters becoming more common, AI and big data are being championed as forces for good and as solutions to the complex challenges of the aid sector./p pThis book argues, however, that digital innovation engenders new forms of violence and entrenches power asymmetries between the global South and North. Madianou develops a new concept, technocolonialism, to capture how the convergence of digital developments with humanitarian structures, state power and market forces reinvigorates and reshapes colonial legacies. The concept of technocolonialism shifts the attention to the constitutive role that digital infrastructures, data and AI play in accentuating inequities between aid providers and people in need./p pDrawing on ten years of research on the uses of digital technologies in humanitarian operations, the book examines a range of practices: from the normalization of biometric technologies and the datafication of humanitarian operations to experimentation in refugee camps, which are treated as laboratories for technological pilots. In so doing, the book opens new ground in the fields of humanitarianism and critical AI studies, and in the debates in postcolonial studies, by highlighting the fundamental role of digital technologies in reworking colonial genealogies./p

The Care of Things: Ethics and Politics of Maintenance, This book disrupts our dominant narratives by putting those individuals skilled in the art of maintenance front and centre. Jérôme Denis and David Pontille shine a spotlight on the subtle aspects of caring for things, tracing the stories of those involved and, with them, the ethical challenges raised and political lessons learned. These people demonstrate a sensitivity and attentiveness to fragility; they encourage us to cultivate a material diplomacy in which wear is accepted and our relation to things becomes a matter of negotiation and compromise – a far cry from the frenetic rhythm of planned obsolescence inherent in hyper-consumerism. Maintenance demarcates the contours of a world in which we have relinquished the human longing for unlimited power and technological autonomy, a world where our attachment to things is more profound than we ever imagined.

Écologisme et socialisme Bifurquer ensemble? Bifurquer est une nécessité, une urgence, l’expression d’un choix. Comment le faire, avec qui et, parfois, contre qui ? La revue Bifurcation/s a pour ambition non seulement de documenter ces bifurcations, mais également de contribuer à les initier, en se positionnant comme un espace de circulation, de débats et d’action. Revue hybride, à la fois académique et diffusée sur Cairn, dotée d’un conseil scientifique et d’un comité de lecture, Bifurcation/s associe aussi des personnalités issues des mouvements sociaux et écologiques. Nous ne cherchons pas à défendre une ligne mais à favoriser les émergences inévitablement multiples, à partir d’une position réflexive, circulante, bienveillante, évitant que les controverses ne virent à la polémique. Pour autant nous ne sommes pas sans horizon : la revue s'inscrit dans une perspective d'émancipation. A ce titre elle a cœur d'explorer les relations entre la perspective écologiste et toutes les autres dimensions d'une politique émancipatrice.
