Descriere magazin:
In this bold reinterpretation of economics and history, the consequence of sole reliance on AI is revealed-as well as what must be done to redirect innovation so it benefits all. The transformation of work by digital technologies and AI could make life better for most people, or possibly much worse--depending on the economic, social, and political choices we make. Through illuminating examples, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson fundamentally change how we see the world. Throughout the world today, digital technologies and artificial intelligence undermine jobs and democracy through excessive automation, massive data collection, and intrusive surveillance.

For most of the rest of us, there is the illusion of progress. Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson debunk modern techno-optimism through a dazzling, original account of how technological choices have changed the course of history. From vivid stories of how the economic surplus of the Middle Ages was appropriated by an ecclesiastical elite to build cathedrals while the peasants starved, to the making of vast fortunes from digital technologies today as millions are pushed towards poverty, we see how the path of technology is determined and who influences its trajectory. To achieve the true potential of innovation, we need to ensure technology is creating new jobs and opportunities rather than marginalizing most people, through automated work and political passivity. We need to use the tre
