AI for Diversity questions how AI technology can lead to inclusion or exclusion for diverse groups of society. It enables the reader to step back and see how AI is impacting diversity in humans impacted by AI and how diversity-awareness strategies can impact AI.
The book is written in a really approachable way for non-specialists and will engage introductory and interdisciplinary audiences. The sections on gender and queering AI are particularly strong, and the book is a highly worthy and important contribution for those chapters alone. --Ashley Shew, Associate Professor, Virginia Tech
