For London folks, you can see it at @V_and_A's new show on AI. The map is printed on a *big* wall, and there's a limited edition newspaper with the essay you can take home with you

Thrilled to launch a big project today: ANATOMY OF AN AI SYSTEM. It's a large map & long-form essay about Amazon's Echo, and the full stack of capital, labor, and natural resources used in AI. It's a collab with @TheCreaturesLab, who is a visual genius

congrats! if this is the map as it is today, would love to consider the AI geology stack that should be (stack to come) as a design problem. No one correct answer, but the differing visions would be instructive..
-
cheers! And yes to multiple visions/versions. This one focuses on 'how can we begin to see' - given complexity, secrecy, timescales. Then there's a normative question of 'how should the next be made.' A design problem indeed!

Can't help being reminded of this tho...pic.twitter.com/pJB9JPvZ20

Did Trevor’s tweet disappear? Call it modeling then. Just mean that the present reality mapped here is not the only socio-geology of AI that can be. There are other discontinuous megastructures that can enable AI/ which constitute different means/ modes of production.
-
This map is one of the unlimited number of the possible different readings of that complexity. As any other map, this is a reduction and simplification. One possible narrative. It does not pretend to be the only one. Just one possible path.

Yes! There is a link at the bottom of the first page that takes you to a full-scale PDF of the map

Thank you! Phenomenal detail and visual display w/in the map. The inner geek in me is so craving a pdf of the essay too, but I can print and write notes from the online version. What an epic analysis from so many critical perspectives. This is so important to share. Thanks again!

Ok, I read it! I was bummed out by the IBM news today and now I am invigorated to work even harder on tech and ethics issues. Vast and systemic is not unsolvable. Once a thing is mapped it can be navigated- even a Gordian knot with a billion dragon heads.

I have also being trying to conceptually frame for a while with AVs &AIAs. I argue the mesh of ontological relations between design, machine decision capacity & human impacts require modeling/mapping in many ways especially in terms of risk, ethics & law.

Beautiful! Thank you very much. Great model for thinking with analogous concepts like

Ok! I’ll find out who is in charge of putting large things up on the walls and what the process/timeline is. And please do send a few copies. Thank you!
