商品描述

This book examines the influence of key films on public understanding of big data and the algorithmic systems that structure our digitally mediated lives.

From star-powered blockbusters to civic-minded documentaries positioned to facilitate weighty debates about artificial intelligence, these texts frame our discourse and mediate our relationship to technology. Above all, they impact society's abilities to regulate AI and navigate big tech's political and economic maneuvers to achieve market dominance and regulatory capture. Foregrounding data politics with close readings of key films like Moneyball, Minority Report, The Social Dilemma, and Coded Bias, Gerald Sim reveals compelling ways in which films and tech industry-adjacent media define apprehension of AI. With the mid-2010s techlash in danger of fizzling out, Screening Big Data explores the relationship between this resistance and cultural infrastructure while highlighting the urgent need to refocus attention onto how technocentric media occupy the public imagination.

This book will interest students and scholars of film and media studies, digital culture, critical data studies, and technopolitics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了關鍵電影對於公眾理解大數據及結構化我們數位生活的演算法系統的影響。從明星主演的大片到旨在促進關於人工智慧的重大辯論的公民導向紀錄片，這些文本塑造了我們的話語並調解了我們與科技的關係。最重要的是，它們影響社會對於規範人工智慧的能力，以及如何應對大型科技公司的政治和經濟策略，以實現市場主導地位和監管捕獲。通過對《Moneyball》、《Minority Report》、《The Social Dilemma》和《Coded Bias》等關鍵電影的深入分析，Gerald Sim 揭示了電影和與科技產業相關的媒體如何定義對人工智慧的認知。隨著2010年代中期的科技反彈面臨消退的危險，《Screening Big Data》探討了這種抵抗與文化基礎設施之間的關係，同時強調了重新聚焦於技術中心媒體如何佔據公眾想像的迫切需求。本書將吸引電影與媒體研究、數位文化、批判性數據研究及技術政治的學生和學者。
