THE BIG NINE - AMY WEBB KARTONIERT (TB)

A call-to-arms about the broken nature of artificial intelligence  and the powerful
corporations that are turning the human-machine relationship on its head. We like to think that
we are in control of the future of artificial intelligence. The reality  though  is that we --
the everyday people whose data powers AI -- aren't actually in control of anything. When  for
example  we speak with Alexa  we contribute that data to a system we can't see and have no
input into -- one largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine corporations --
Amazon  Google  Facebook  Tencent  Baidu  Alibaba  Microsoft  IBM and Apple--are the new gods
of AI and are short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain. In this book  Amy
Webb reveals the pervasive  invisible ways in which the foundations of AI -- the people working
on the system  their motivations  the technology itself -- is broken. Within our lifetimes  AI
will  by design  begin to behave unpredictably  thinking and acting in ways which defy human
logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of
intelligent systems that don't share our motivations  desires  or hopes for the future of
humanity. Much more than a passionate  human-centered call-to-arms  this book delivers a
strategy for changing course  and provides a path for liberating us from algorithmic
decision-makers and powerful corporations.
