Re-Publication - On AI 2024
8.5 x 11 inches, 24 pages
This book is a republishing of insightful excerpts from 6 authors’ essays on artificial intelligence, all with different backgrounds and fields of expertise. My use of many authors’ works and the process of synthesizing them into one body of writing (what I call a “re-publication”) hopes to highlight varying voices and perspectives on AI. Their works, in turn, also supplement and replace my voice while still reflecting my research and opinions on this topic. Thoughts of my own are dispersed throughout, but I wanted the focus to be on all of our voices as a collective. If, at times, the tetris-like organization of excerpts feels like a cacophony of voices rather than a single unified essay, that is a natural awkwardness of the structure I chose for this publication, but not unintentional! By conjoining texts, I hoped to create a dialogue where these separate yet related works “speak” all at once and form a larger conversation about AI and its implications.
