The Critical AI Textbook (CRAIT) Project
Coming soon...
Accessible, Understandable, and Inclusive
One of the goals of the CRAIT Project is to create an updated AI textbook that can be understood by anyone, not just those studying computer science, while being free-to-access, accessible to learners with disabilities, and inclusive for all learners. More on accessibility and inclusion...
Ethics and Justice at the Root
Working on AI is a political act. The CRAIT Project begins with this premise and explicitly discusses issues of ethics and justice as central to the work of artificial intelligence. Considerations of bias, power, and oppression are included throughout the text, and not treated as peripheral or an afterthought.
Filled with Hands-on Examples
Many AI resources prioritize theory over practice or practice over theory. The CRAIT Project has an ambitious goal of covering both, which we believe to be necessary when covering a topic as consequential as AI. Python
is currently the programming language introduced and used in the text.
