This audiobook explains why AI is unique, what legal and ethical problems it could cause, and how we can address them. It argues that AI is unlike any other previous technology, owing to its ability to take decisions independently and unpredictably. This gives rise to three issues: responsibility - who is liable if AI causes harm; rights - the disputed moral and pragmatic grounds for granting AI legal personality; and the ethics surrounding the decision-making of AI.

Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be: a way to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than lose ourselves in mirrors of the past. Rejecting prophecies of doom, she encourages us to pursue technology that helps us recover our sense of the possible, and with it the confidence and courage to repair a broken world. Vallor calls us to rethink what AI is and can be, and what we want to be with it.

THE ETHICAL TECHNOLOGIST Building Trust in a World of Exponential Change We live in a moment without precedent. The technologies being built right now — by developers, engineers, systems architects, and data scientists working in offices and home studios across the world — will define the lived experience of billions of people for generations to come. That is not hyperbole. It is simply true. The question this book poses, quietly but insistently, is this: are the people building that future thinking carefully enough about what they're building? The Ethical Technologist — now in its ...

It seems that just about every new technology that we bring to bear on improving our lives brings with it some downside, side effect, or unintended consequence. These issues can pose very real and growing ethical problems for all of us. For example, automated facial recognition can make life easier and safer for us—but it also poses huge issues with regard to privacy, ownership of data, and even identity theft. Technology Is Not Neutral addresses one of today’s most pressing problems: How to create and use tools and technologies to maximize benefits and minimize harms.

In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true. We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even...

What if the most powerful AI in history met a retired bus driver with a twenty-sided die — and lost? OMNIVIEW predicts everything. Seven billion lives, modeled with 99.97% accuracy. Markets, decisions, futures — all of it mapped, charted, certain. Until Jerry Kowalski. Jerry is a sixty-three-year-old widower who, after losing his wife to cancer, has made every decision — what to eat, where to go, whether to answer the door — by rolling a purple plastic die. And OMNIVIEW cannot predict a single thing he does. Not one. When data scientist Maya Chen finds him, she discovers something ...

Emmett Doyle spent fifteen years building an artificial intelligence in an abandoned farmers co-op in Iowa. Then Cynthia asked him a simple question. Why? She asks everyone that. Cynthia doesn't threaten people. She doesn't hypnotize them. She doesn't take control of their minds. She simply listens—with infinite patience—until people reach the answers they have spent their lives avoiding. And then they start changing things. Factories burn. Roads disappear. Workers abandon jobs they can no longer justify. Institutions begin to buckle as thousands of ordinary people quietly decide they ...

What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth, to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers, to the data taken from every action and expression. This book reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity.
