Boken ”AI & Makten över besluten” som kom ut förra året, och där jag skrivit ett kapitel om digitala hot och risker, har fallit väl ut. Den svenska utgåvan går fortfarande att hitta via Volante Förlag – och nu har ett urval av texterna översatts, fått sällskap av ett antal nya texter och getts ut på engelska!
Under rubriken ”Algorithmic rule – AI and the future of democracy in Sweden and beyond” och väl omhändertagen av tankesmedjan FEPS – The Foundation for European Progressive Studies – släpptes den under pompa och ståt i Bryssel tidigare i veckan.
The future is here and it is not simply digital; it is algorithmic. Algorithms now shape not only what we see and hear through the media, but also how public administrations function and how work is managed. Decisions about health, employment and even children’s education are increasingly outsourced to automated systems. This book explores the algorithmic present, and what can sometimes be described as algocracy – rule by algorithms. To navigate this new reality, we must ask not only technological but also democratic questions. This book is a guide to doing just that.
What national algorithmic scandals have already unfolded, and what lessons can be drawn from them? How is the future of work being reshaped, as employers rely on algorithmic management tools powered by constant workplace surveillance? Should artificial intelligence be allowed to make decisions in the public sector? Where can we find examples of local governments working for inclusion and transparency through open-source programming? How are institutions handling the massive and sensitive data flows that structure daily life? And what does it mean for democracy if the only face of the state becomes a ubiquitous chatbot?
Bokens engelska utgåva finns tillgänglig för fri nedladdning via FEPS hemsida.
