AI for a Just World: Power, Liberation, and the People Left Behind (forthcoming)
Edited by Christo El Morr, Rachel Gorman, Elham Dolatabadi, and Laleh Seyyed-Kalantari, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis
What does it mean to build Artificial Intelligence for a just world—and for whom is justice imagined?
As AI systems deepen their reach into health care, education, borders, social media, and intimate life, AI for a Just World: Power, Liberation, and the People Left Behind gathers a bold interdisciplinary community of scholars and practitioners to ask hard questions about equity, oppression, and technological futures.
Spanning four wide-ranging sections--Artificial Intelligence and the Pursuit of Equity; Disability Justice and the Limits of Technoableism; Gender, Violence, and Social Reproduction; and Coloniality, Liberation, and Other Ways of Knowing—this volume travels from the clinic to the cloud, from the classroom to the border, to expose how power and discrimination are reproduced in algorithmic design and deployment. Chapters rethink fairness in medical AI, challenge ableist frameworks in STEM and higher education, interrogate misogyny and violence encoded into digital platforms, and confront the colonial logics structuring migration control and geopolitical analysis.
Contributors also chart pathways forward: equity-by-design in health systems, disability-centered approaches to AI development, Indigenous relational ethics, and posthumanist possibilities for reimagining our relationship with intelligent technologies.
Provocative and visionary, AI for a Just World provides critical tools for scholars, technologists, policymakers, and activists determined to ensure that AI does not merely innovate—but liberates.

Artificial Intelligence for Epidemic Preparedness: Innovations and Insights from the Global South (forthcoming)
Edited by Christo El Morr, Antoine Saab, and Elie Salem-Sokhn
How can Artificial Intelligence strengthen our collective capacity to predict, detect, and respond to epidemics—while advancing equity and justice?
As pandemics continue to expose global health vulnerabilities, Artificial Intelligence for Epidemic Preparedness: Innovations and Insights from the Global South brings together scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplines and regions to critically examine how AI can transform epidemic surveillance, health systems, and community resilience without reproducing historical inequities.
Spanning four major sections--Foundations and Cross-Cutting Themes; AI for Early Detection, Surveillance, and Prediction; AI Applications for Health Equity and Community Well-Being; and AI Governance, Ethics, and Equity—this volume moves from conceptual and methodological mapping to cutting-edge applications and governance frameworks. Chapters explore innovative AI-driven diagnostics, real-time surveillance, culturally aware design, and decolonial approaches to data and algorithmic decision-making.
Contributors interrogate the promises and perils of AI in epidemic preparedness, asking not only what can be predicted, but who benefits and who may be left behind. The book invites researchers, policymakers, technologists, and global health practitioners to rethink AI beyond technical innovation—toward tools and systems that build fairer, more resilient futures in the face of emerging health crises.

Shaping AI: Ethics, Society, and the Future of Technology (forthcoming)
Edited by Christo El Morr, Anoop George, and Vijay Mago
What kind of world is Artificial Intelligence building—and for whom?
As AI technologies rapidly reshape our societies, economies, and bodies, Shaping AI: Ethics, Society, and the Future of Technology brings together a diverse array of scholars to interrogate the promises, politics, and perils of AI from critical, inclusive, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Spanning three major sections--Foundations and Applications, Philosophical and Critical Perspectives, and Ethics, Governance, and Social Impact—this volume explores the deep entanglements of AI with disability, gender, race, capitalism, coloniality, and the environment. Chapters examine real-world applications from health systems and biometric surveillance to transport and platform economies, while others engage with philosophical frameworks and decolonial theories to rethink what responsible AI means today.
Contributors from across disciplines and geographies interrogate the very foundations of AI, highlight its ethical blind spots, and offer bold visions for technology that centers justice, equity, and human dignity. Whether you are a scholar, policymaker, student, or technologist, this book offers the critical tools to rethink AI not just as innovation—but as a site of struggle for a more just future.
