Beskrivning

As AI becomes deeply embedded in society, Automating Islamophobia challenges the myth of its objectivity and exposes its role in amplifying global Islamophobia. Rejecting the AI hype, this book critically examines how AI-driven surveillance, counterterrorism, and warfare harm Muslim communities while reinforcing state power. Instead of advocating for increased Muslim representation in tech as a solution, it questions whether meaningful change is possible within a flawed system. Arguing that AI is not inevitable but shaped by political ideologies, the book urges a more critical engagement with these technologies. As nations race to lead in AI development, understanding its role in deepening injustice and marginalisation is more urgent than ever. Automating Islamophobia envisions a future that resists these harmful structures and rethinks AI’s place in society.
