Who are the agents involved in the creation of meaning in artificial intelligence? Are these results scientifically indisputable truths? Who benefits that AI solutions are taken by absolute references in cutting-edge technology? What cost does it have for individuals? And for the planet? This work is the result of more than ten years of research on large-scale data extraction, both the material cost of it - exploitation of rare earth mines, endangered trees, subsidized resources such as water or electricity, exploitation of labor--, as well as the strategies underlying the dominance of a technology that perpetuates power and its social and cultural biases. A puzzle where each piece is dissected and analyzed with scientific thoroughness, a fascinating map about the greedy exploitation of natural resources, workers treated unscrupulously, a biased selection of information from the moment it was compiled, and a pact between states and private companies that ignore the responsibilities that come with extraction and use. In this book, the author offers us a pleasant explanation of why artificial intelligence is neither intelligent nor artificial.
