THE EQUALITY MACHINE - ORLY LOBEL GEBUNDEN

AN ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF 2022 At a time when AI and digital platforms are under fire  Orly
Lobel  a renowned tech policy scholar  defends technology as a powerful tool we can harness to
achieve equality and a better future. Much has been written about the challenges tech presents
to equality and democracy. But we can either criticize big data and automation or steer it to
do better. Lobel makes a compelling argument that while we cannot stop technological
development  we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values. With
provocative insights in every chapter  Lobel masterfully shows that digital technology
frequently has a comparative advantage over humans in detecting discrimination  correcting
historical exclusions  subverting long-standing stereotypes  and addressing the world’s
thorniest problems: climate  poverty  injustice  literacy  accessibility  speech  health  and
safety. Lobel's vivid examples—from labor markets to dating markets—provide powerful evidence
for how we can harness technology for good. The book’s incisive analysis and elegant
storytelling will change the debate about technology and restore human agency over our values.
