significance of artificial intelligence by looking at representations in
fiction, film and television, as well as examining the effect of AI
technologies on the way we consume culture.
Lee Barron traces the evolution of AI - from the Turing Machine to deep
learning, to interrogate the key issues and debates. He uses examples of
AI from pop culture to help us understand how the technology is changing
aspects of society from surveillance and work to human relationships
with technology.
AI and Popular Culture sheds light on how artificial intelligence has
changed our world and helps you to understand where it might take us
next. It also makes significant contributions to Media and Cultural
Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences, as well as to subjects such as
AI Ethics and Society and Computing.
