Artificial intelligence is about to amplify the most primitive
version of who we are, and spit it back at us for entertainment and
profit. That's the warning from award-winning technology journalist
Jacob Ward, whose decade-long journey through the cutting edge of
AI and behavioural science reveals that we're on the verge of
becoming caught in The Loop: a shrinking cycle of narrowed choices
and lost skills that will turn us away from expertise, human
connection, and creativity if we don't act fast. From biometric
surveillance states that track the movements and relationships of
over a billion people, to the algorithms that determine what movies
get made, to the risky multiple-choice simplicity of automated
battlefield systems, this book reveals that the most obvious
patterns in our behaviour-patterns that AI is most likely to vacuum
up-are not the ones we want to perpetuate. As the tech industry
begins writing flawed human habits into AI, The Loop is a call to
look at ourselves more clearly, so we can put only the best parts
of ourselves into the systems we create.
