This book takes a philosophical look at traditional technological tools such as hammers and drills as well as the modern: autonomous cars, ChatGPT, smartphones, apps, steam engines, nuclear power plants, computers, and other machines that surround us. It questions the prevailing image of a future of malevolent, hyper-intelligent systems that dominate humanity. Questions tackled include:
- How far does artificial intelligence penetrate our lives?
- Does social media lead to polarization?
- Do algorithms discriminate?
- Does AI create climate problems?
- Is technology neutral?
- Do we realize to what extent Big Tech knows our sexual orientation, philosophical preferences, and emotions?
- Is the world controlled by engineers since the digital revolution, or are their inventions merely a product of society?
In a crystal-clear manner, Lode Lauwaert and Bartek Chomanski offer an idiosyncratic perspective on technology and AI. The result is a nuanced and critical view of the key themes of our time. This book appeals broadly to students, researchers as well as non-academic audiences for an introduction to the philosophy of technology and AI.
