The Tyranny Of Algorithms

AI, artificial intelligence, poses a great risk to democracy.

Miguel Benasayag, a philosopher and psychoanalyst, warns of the great risk posed by big data and algorithms deciding the direction of the world. This book explores the relationship between human beings and machines and the impact the digital world has on our society. The author argues that leaders have delegated decision making to AI and large companies, financial markets, and states, are now subject to the decisions made by machines.
