Discover the transformative insights of 'In AI We Trust', an essential read for anyone navigating the complexities of artificial intelligence. This thought-provoking book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2021, explores the pivotal role of AI in shaping our future, identity, and personal agency. Delve into the crucial questions of whether predictive algorithms will dominate our lives and what this means for humanity. With 200 pages of compelling analysis, the book unravels the paradox of our reliance on AI—while we seek greater control over uncertainty, we may inadvertently surrender our autonomy to the algorithms we create. By unpacking the implications of surveillance and control inherent in digital technologies, it challenges established narratives of progress and invites a conversation on reappropriating our relationship with AI. Perfect for students, professionals, and enthusiasts alike, this brand-new publication (ISBN: 9781509548811) serves as a guide to understanding the limitations of AI and embracing the future's uncertainties.

Description:


One of the most persistent concerns about the future is whether it will be dominated by the predictive algorithms of AI “ and, if so, what this will mean for our behaviour, for our institutions and for what it means to be human. AI changes our experience of time and the future and challenges our identities, yet we are blinded by its efficiency and fail to understand how it affects us.


At the heart of our trust in AI lies a paradox: we leverage AI to increase our control over the future and uncertainty, while at the same time the performativity of AI, the power it has to make us act in the ways it predicts, reduces our agency over the future. This happens when we forget that that we humans have created the digital technologies to which we attribute agency. These developments also challenge the narrative of progress, which played such a central role in modernity and is based on the hubris of total control. We are now moving into an era where this control is limited as AI monitors our actions, posing the threat of surveillance, but also offering the opportunity to reappropriate control and transform it into care.


As we try to adjust to a world in which algorithms, robots and avatars play an ever-increasing role, we need to understand better the limitations of AI and how their predictions affect our agency, while at the same time having the courage to embrace the uncertainty of the future.
