Description
System Error: How Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot A forward-thinking manifesto from three Stanford professors reveals how big tech's obsession with optimization has sacrificed fundamental human values, outlining steps we can take to change course and renew our democracy. The relentless focus on efficiency by big tech has led to a dystopian obsession with biased algorithms, surveillance capitalism, and job-displacing robots. However, it doesn't need to be this way. By understanding how technologists think and exercise their power, we can hold that power to account. Armed with an understanding of the root causes of our current predicament, three Stanford professors offer a vision for a better technological future.
