The AI Con Book Release
It's book release week and we couldn't be more excited. The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want officially drops Tuesday, May 13 (in US & affiliated markets) and May 22 (in UK & affiliated markets).
We have been super busy for the past few weeks doing interviews for various media outlets (including podcasts, radio, print media, so far; and a live spot on KING5 TV in Seattle on May 19). We're collecting links to these shows as they appear on our media page. We expect a lot of them to land in the coming week as the book hits the shelves.
We are also excited for our book tour, which includes both virtual and in-person events. You can find the full (developing) schedule on our events page. Thank you to the over 350 of you who showed up to our book launch event with Vauhini Vara, sponsored by DAIR! We want to draw your attention to the following online and/or hybrid events this week:
- May 12, 5pm Pacific (today as this newsletter goes live): Family Action Network, online only. We'll be joined in discussion by Timnit Gebru.
- May 15, 7pm Pacific: City Lights, San Francisco, hybrid. Journalist Khari Johnson will be joining us.
- May 16, 2pm Pacific: SJSU, San Jose, hybrid. We're chatting with Rhonda Holberton.
