How to put democracy at the heart of AI governance Artificial
intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Police
forces use them to decide where to send police officers, judges to
decide whom to release on bail, welfare agencies to decide which
children are at risk of abuse, and Facebook and Google to rank
content and distribute ads. In these spheres, and many others,
powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made,
narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and
creativity. In Algorithms for the People, Josh Simons flips the
narrative about how we govern these technologies. Instead of
examining the impact of technology on democracy, he explores how to
put democracy at the heart of AI governance. Drawing on his
experience as a research fellow at Harvard University, a visiting
research scientist on Facebook's Responsible AI team, and a policy
advisor to the UK's Labour Party, Simons gets under the hood of
predictive technologies, offering an accessible account of how they
work, why they matter, and how to regulate the institutions that
build and use them. He argues that prediction is political: human
choices about how to design and use predictive tools shape their
effects. Approaching predictive technologies through the lens of
political theory casts new light on how democracies should govern
political choices made outside the sphere of representative
politics. Showing the connection between technology regulation and
democratic reform, Simons argues that we must go beyond
conventional theorizing of AI ethics to wrestle with fundamental
moral and political questions about how the governance of
technology can support the flourishing of democracy.
