AI Everywhere, Book 2

This is our second collaborative book in the She Writes AI Everywhere series. Authors are women and nonbinary writers from the She Writes AI community.

Series Concept

Broad coverage of AI and data for people of any gender who are wondering, what about AI in the workplace, education, healthcare, etc.? Technical how-to chapters are also included. The goal is to highlight the voices of women and nonbinary people on AI and data. Intersectional and global viewpoints are especially encouraged.

Here’s Book1; also see our book website, aiEverywhereBooks.com.

Series Guidelines

See the She Writes AI Book Guidelines page for guidelines that apply to all books in the She Writes AI Everywhere series.

Volume 2 will be available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover. Cover design is in progress and the real cover image will be revealed at a later date.
