We like to think that we are in control of the future of
"artificial" intelligence. The reality, though, is that we--the
everyday people whose data powers AI--aren't actually in control of
anything. When, for example, we speak with Alexa, we contribute
that data to a system we can't see and have no input into--one
largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine
corporations--Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba,
Microsoft, IBM and Apple--are the new gods of AI and are
short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain. In
this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which
the foundations of AI - the people working on the system, their
motivations, the technology itself - are broken. Within our
lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably,
thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine
corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays
of intelligent systems that don't share our motivations, desires,
or hopes for the future of humanity. Much more than a passionate,
human-centred call-to-arms, this book delivers a strategy for
changing course and provides a path for liberating us from
algorithmic decision-makers and powerful corporations.
