Artificial intelligence draws on the data we humans have created, and reflects our history back to us. For better and for worse, we are making machines in our image. AI is changing how we think, how we make decisions and how we navigate the world. It presents a fever dream of utopian and dystopian visions. AI promises everything from an end to deadly disease to limitless wisdom at our fingertips. Yet this brave new world also threatens new kinds of digital repression. As the age of AI takes shape around us, we need to centre the best of our values. We need a way of thinking ethically about how the machines we have made will shape our future. This book explains how human rights can help us respond to the rise of AI in ways that advance the ideas of dignity, equality and respect. Machines in our Image is an essential read for anyone who wants to better understand AI, and how to make it work for everyone. - Publisher's website.
