《AI 詐騙：拆穿人工智慧神話與背後的權力結構》
——一場犀利、精準的揭露，指出「人工智慧」話術如何掩飾少數權力者的野心
人工智慧真的要接管世界了嗎？
科技巨頭真的創造出了能自行思考的人工生命？
AI 會讓作家、藝術家與各行各業失去工作嗎？
我們是否正進入一個電腦優於人類一切的時代？
語言學家艾蜜莉・M・班德（Emily M. Bender）與社會學家亞歷克斯・漢娜（Alex Hanna）明確地說：
「不是。」
「他們希望如此。」
「笑死。」
「絕對不是。」
這些聳動想法的背後，是一種被稱為「AI 誇大（AI hype）」的現象。這種誇大宣傳扭曲語言，掩蓋真相，讓有錢人更有錢：正當化資料掠奪、推動監控資本主義、貶低人類創造力，並將有意義的工作替換為把人當機器的低品質勞動。
在《AI 詐騙》一書中，班德與漢娜透過犀利而詼諧的筆觸，全方位拆解AI神話。他們不僅揭露誇大背後的技術侷限與社會風險，更教你如何辨識這類話術、拆解話語機制，進而揭開背後真正目的：大科技的逐利計畫，以及其對人類尊嚴與民主制度的忽視與踐踏。
掌握這些工具後，你將能：
-
在職場上看穿數位新包裝下的剝削；
-
作為消費者，理解市場中的科技話術陷阱；
-
作為讀者，質疑媒體對AI的片面敘事；
-
作為公民，監督政策決策者對科技的立場與選擇。
最終，班德與漢娜揭示了這個時代最危險的迷思之一：
AI 並非中立工具，而是一面遮掩資本主義權力擴張的假面。
A smart, incisive look at the technologies sold as artificial intelligence, the drawbacks and pitfalls of technology sold under this banner, and why it’s crucial to recognize the many ways in which AI hype covers for a small set of power-hungry actors at work and in the world.
Is artificial intelligence going to take over the world? Have big tech scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to put authors, artists, and others out of business? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?
The answer to these questions, linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna make clear, is “no,” “they wish,” “LOL,” and “definitely not.” This kind of thinking is a symptom of a phenomenon known as “AI hype.” Hype looks and smells fishy: It twists words and helps the rich get richer by justifying data theft, motivating surveillance capitalism, and devaluing human creativity in order to replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. In The AI Con, Bender and Hanna offer a sharp, witty, and wide-ranging take-down of AI hype across its many forms.
Bender and Hanna show you how to spot AI hype, how to deconstruct it, and how to expose the power grabs it aims to hide. Armed with these tools, you will be prepared to push back against AI hype at work, as a consumer in the marketplace, as a skeptical newsreader, and as a citizen holding policymakers to account. Together, Bender and Hanna expose AI hype for what it is: a mask for Big Tech’s drive for profit, with little concern for who it affects.

Review
"With their expansive, interdisciplinary expertise, Bender and Hanna write with absolute authority and unapologetic clarity about all the ways AI companies wield and weaponize language—in their marketing hype and as training data for their monstrous AI models—to create a less rigorous, less verifiable, more unequal, and more BS-filled world. Despite the depressing nature of their subject, Bender and Hanna narrate it with incredible wit and verve...Come for the piercing observations; leave with the tools to slice your way through the absurdist narratives that prop up the AI industry and to hold it accountable." — Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI
“A powerful and timely deep dive into what the AI hype cycle is REALLY about, why it's bound to crash, and what we can all do to protect ourselves from it. An absolute must-read!" — Karla Ortiz, artist and artist activist
"The AI Con is a must-read...Drs. Alex Hanna and Emily M. Bender cut through the dizzying hype to provide the clearest picture yet of what AI is, what it is not, and why none of us need to accept it being shoved down our throats. Their expertise and independence from the tech companies claiming to have created what the CEO of OpenAI calls 'magic intelligence in the sky,' makes them two of the few voices writing on this topic motivated by the public’s interests rather than their personal gains." — Timnit Gebru, Founder and Executive Director at The Distributed AI Research Institute
"In The AI Con, Bender and Hanna deliver a hard-hitting, no-nonsense takedown of the so-called 'artificial intelligence revolution.' Far from the sci-fi fantasy of machines thinking for themselves, this book shows how tech giants are using AI as a cover for their real agenda: data exploitation, surveillance, and a race to replace human labor with soulless automation. With irreverence and razor-sharp analysis, Bender and Hanna dismantle the hype and arm readers with the tools to see through the corporate doublespeak. This isn’t just about debunking myths—it’s about reclaiming control over the future that’s being sold to us." — Ruha Benjamin, author of Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want
"If you've been confused and bedazzled by all the chatter about AI, this book will help you make sense of all of it. Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna break down all the science-fictional flights of fancy, and painstakingly reveal the troubling reality that lies beneath. The AI Con is required reading for anyone who wants to survive the twenty-first century." — Charlie Jane Anders, author of Victories Greater Than Death
"In this AI hype era, Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna are here to deliver the well-informed debunking our algorithm overlords deserve." — Annalee Newitz, bestselling author of Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind and Autonomous
"A refreshingly contrarian take on AI and the clouds of hyperbole surrounding it." — Kirkus Reviews
