Description
Designing Alternatives to AI: A New Approach to Programming Languages Alan Blackwell argues that the current research agenda in artificial intelligence is flawed, and that what humanity needs is better ways to tell computers what we want them to do. The author, a seasoned programming language designer, draws on his experience to unpack fundamental principles of interaction design and explain their technical relationship to ideas of creativity and fairness. Blackwell's book offers rich design principles for creating software that is better, not just more efficient or profitable, but better for society and better for all people. He covers recent research and the latest smart tools, providing a comprehensive guide to designing software that is more humane and effective. By exploring the limitations of current software and proposing new approaches, Blackwell provides a valuable contribution to the field of human-computer interaction. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on our society.
