Abstract
The Generative AI revolution is driven by corporations demanding legal superpowers. If we allow it to continue unchecked, the implications will be profound. This urgent, critical book exposes the unprecedented push by trillion-dollar companies to build AI on billions of unauthorized human works and redefine fundamental areas of law, including copyright, contract, and free speech. Written by an industry insider who turned from AI champion to AI critic, this highly accessible work promotes AI literacy and provides essential tools to pierce the hype. Readers will learn how to assess AI's profound societal risks to democracy and autonomy and ensure that we are the architects of-and not bystanders in-our artificial future.

This article argues that AI's developmental value, when applied to the most critical international development challenges humanity faces, still depends on the geopolitical, institutional, environmental, labor, and ethical conditions that determine how AI development and deployment benefits and risks are distributed.

Describing the development and consolidation of the internet, the dotcom boom and bust, and post-2008 financial crash investments in tech, Vincent Mosco theorised the ‘digital sublime’ to describe the experience through which technical systems inspire awe and overwhelm at their apparent promises. As AI is further integ...
