In this ground-breaking book, Cambridge-trained sociologist Anthony
Elliott argues that much of what passes for conventional wisdom
about artificial intelligence is either ill-considered or plain
wrong. The reason? The AI revolution is not so much about cyborgs
and super-robots in the future, but rather massive changes in the
here-and-now of everyday life. In The Culture of AI, Elliott
explores how intelligent machines, advanced robotics, accelerating
automation, big data and the Internet of Everything impact upon
day-to-day life and contemporary societies. With remarkable clarity
and insight, Elliott's examination of the reordering of everyday
life highlights the centrality of AI to everything we do - from
receiving Amazon recommendations to requesting Uber, and from
getting information from virtual personal assistants to talking
with chatbots. The rise of intelligent machines transforms the
global economy and threatens jobs, but equally there are other
major challenges to contemporary societies - although these
challenges are unfolding in complex and uneven ways across the
globe. The Culture of AI explores technological innovations from
industrial robots to softbots, and from self-driving cars to
military drones - and along the way provides detailed treatments
of: The history of AI and the advent of the digital universe;
automated technology, jobs and employment; the self and private
life in times of accelerating machine intelligence; AI and new
forms of social interaction; automated vehicles and new warfare;
and, the future of AI. Written by one of the world's foremost
social theorists, The Culture of AI is a major contribution to the
field and a provocative reflection on one of the most urgent issues
of our time. It will be essential reading to those working in a
wide variety of disciplines including sociology, science and
technology studies, politics, and cultural studies.
