“The editor Hanemaayer provides a succinct history of AI discontent as a strand of criticism toward the central view of AI scholarship … . AI and its discontents offers much needed in depth reflections on serious structural issues with AI as this technology is ushered into our daily lives and sold across borders … . the book also shows how valuable and fruitful AI criticism as a subfield in humanities can be, both in academia and in governance … .” (Manh‑Tung Ho, AI & SOCIETY, Vol. 39 (3), 2024
)“The book offers a number of useful critiques of AI as it interacts with increasing numbers of Internet users. Readers should take the Marxist perspectives with a grain of salt.” (G. R. Mayforth, Computing Reviews, October 19, 2022)
“All of the chapters are well written and the editorial process was clearly very good. … I found four essays particularly noteworthy … . If you are limited on time, these core essays are must-reads. I found this book interesting because it disclosed to me what others outside the computational science community see.” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, July 20, 2022)
