A smart, incisive take-down of the bogus claims being made about
so-called ‘artificial intelligence’, exposing the real harm these
technologies do to our jobs, health, society and environment, who
stands to gain from them, and how to fight back.
Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an
artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace
all our jobs, even creative ones, like doctors, teachers and
care-workers? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better
than humans at everything?
The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of The AI Con
make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In
fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech
corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism,
and devalue human creativity so they can replace meaningful work with
jobs that treat people like machines. Meanwhile, across healthcare,
education, media, government and law-enforcement, ‘AI’ products are
already being introduced that are unreliable, ineffective, unjust and
dangerous.
Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights,
The AI Con arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the
exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it
at work and in your daily life.
