Synopsis:
We are at a pivotal moment in technology’s evolution, where AI, automation, and digital ecosystems reshape society. This collection of essays from two veterans in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Human Language technology explores the tensions between innovation, ethics, and power. The essays challenge both fear-driven skepticism and unchecked techno-optimism, examining issues like democracy’s erosion, AI’s promise, and the commodification of attention. Rather than celebrating or condemning technology, the authors critically reflect on how power structures shape progress. To move forward intentionally, they propose, we must question not just technology but the economic and philosophical forces driving it. This book is a provocation, urging readers to rethink technology’s role in shaping our future.
