      ab: The book *AI and Assembly: Coming Together and Apart in a Datafied World*, edited by Toussaint Nothias and Lucy Bernholz, examines the complex relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and human assembly, broadly defined as the act of gathering. It explores how AI technologies—including chatbots, social media algorithms, facial recognition, and targeted advertising—affect social connections, collective action, and civil society across diverse global contexts. Contributions address issues such as algorithmic violence in the global South, the deployment of facial recognition technologies in Africa, legal challenges of online assembly, and the politics of algorithmic auditing. The volume also critiques Western-centric assumptions about community and inclusion in AI discourse, emphasizing the need for sociotechnical understandings that reflect varied cultural and geopolitical perspectives.
