Code-Dependent : Living in the Shadow of AI – Madhumita Murgia

13 Oct 2024 16:00

AI is already changing what it means to be human in ways small and large. In Code-Dependent , (shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction), Madhumita Murgia shows how automated systems are reshaping lives worldwide, from technology marking children as future criminals to an app giving diagnosis to a remote tribal community. She explores the impact of these powerful but often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities and our wider society and charts a path of resistance to reclaim our humanity.

“The intimate investigation of AI that we’ve been waiting for.. “ Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

Dr Susan Oman is a Lecturer in Data, AI and Society in the Information School at the University of Sheffield.
