By Laura Grace Simpkins 12 Bytes Jeanette Winterson Jeanette Winterson, the award-winning author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, began circling around artificial intelligence after reading Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Near.
Since then, the science and technologies of AI have informed her fiction, including her 2019 novel Frankissstein. 12 Bytes is Winterson’s first non-fiction book about AI. In each essay, Winterson holds AI up to the light, contemplating it from different angles. Although Winterson stresses that it is “not a history of AI”, 12 Bytes traces the historical and contemporary women who have been written out of the record of computing’s past and AI’s future. Not enough has changed. Winterson doesn’t shy away from all this, but is refreshingly measured and optimistic. “We have our own intelligence, plus that ofAI, but we are nowhere close to solving human issues” And what exactly do we mean by the “I” in “AI”, she asks.
