Description: A humanist manifesto for the age of AI Artificial intelligence may be the most transformative technology of our time. As AI's power grows so does the need to figure out what and who this technology is really for. AI Needs You argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in answering this urgent question and ensuring that AI fulfills its promise. Verity Harding draws inspiring lessons from the histories of three twentieth - century tech revolutions the space race in vitro fertilization and the internet to empower each of us to join the conversation about AI and its possible futures. Sharing her perspective as a leading insider in technology and politics she rejects the dominant narrative which often likens AI's advent to that of the atomic bomb. History points the way to an achievable future in which democratically determined values guide AI to be peaceful in its intent; to embrace limitations; to serve purpose not profit; and to be firmly rooted in societal trust. AI Needs You gives us hope that we the people can imbue AI with a deep intentionality that reflects our best values ideals and interests and that serves the public good. AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways but it is clear that the shape of AI's future and of our own cannot be left only to those building it. It is up to us to guide this technology away from our worst fears and toward a future that we can trust and believe in.
