It has been said that, by standing on the shoulders of giants, one gets to see further, and in Artificial Whiteness, Yarden Katz stands on the shoulders of various figures in critical race theory and other disciplines to mount a critique of artificial intelligence for its alleged complicity with imperialism, capitalism, and the maintenance, expansion, and refinement of white supremacy.
