Description

Artificial intelligence is transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. Yet, its development is often shrouded in mystery, with creators operating quickly and at large scale without a clear sense of societal purpose. This book argues that society can and should take an active role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. By drawing lessons from the history and governance of three recent transformative technologies - the space race, in-vitro fertilization, and the internet - Verity Harding makes the case for a more inclusive and democratic approach to AI development. As AI becomes increasingly powerful, it is crucial to figure out what values framework will permeate this technology and guide its development. What values are needed to ensure that advances in AI will advance us as a species, inspire us as a people, and support the delicate fabric of society? Harding's book is a call to action, empowering readers to participate in the conversations and political processes that will determine the intentions of AI. With its accessible and engaging approach, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on our world.
