Description
Artificial Unintelligence examines the gap between what we expect from artificial intelligence and what it actually delivers. Meredith Broussard, a computational journalist, investigates how AI systems make mistakes and perpetuate biases across critical domains including criminal justice, hiring, education, and healthcare.
Drawing on real-world examples and technical analysis, Broussard demonstrates that many AI failures stem from flawed assumptions about how computers can represent human knowledge and values. She argues that our over-reliance on algorithmic decision-making creates significant risks without delivering promised benefits.
This thought-provoking book challenges the tech industry’s optimism about artificial intelligence and calls for more realistic expectations. Rather than dismissing AI entirely, Broussard advocates for a balanced approach that acknowledges both capabilities and fundamental limitations of computational systems.
