John R. Gallagher is professor of English at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he also is a faculty affiliate at the School of Information Sciences. He is the author of Case Study Research in the Digital Age and Update Culture and the Afterlife of Digital Writing. He fuses qualitative inquiry with natural language processing and machine learning to study social media.

AI Through the Experts’ Eyes is a highly accessible, useful, timely, and interesting book on the workflow around artificial intelligence and machine learning and the discourse and writing practices of scientists and researchers. By providing an example of the discourse practices for these scientists and the problem of what he defines as terminology drift, John Gallagher will prompt reflection on terminology use in helpful and constructive ways.
