| Opplysninger | "This book examines the fears generated by the growing pervasiveness of AI, from threats of unemployment to surveillance and the invasion of privacy. Elliott examines how machine learning algorithms are not only transforming global institutions but also rewriting our personal lives, and he tells this story with the help of a wide range of topical examples including ChatGPT, Amazon, Netflix, Uber and Squid Game. Questioning why people often assume that they need to adopt new technologies in order to lead fulfilling lives, Elliott argues that people may be as much entranced as inspired by their outsourcing of personal decision-making to smart machines. This book will be useful to undergraduate-level students and above in sociology, media and communications, and science and technology studies. It will also be of interest to a wider range of general readers"
