Die Herrschaftsformel
"Künstliche Intelligenz ist die größte Gefahr für die Menschheit" Stephen Hawking Mit der gegenwärtigen technologischen Revolution ist der Traum einer umfassenden Möglichkeit der Steuerung der Gesellschaft wahrgeworden. Kai Schlieter zeigt, wie Politik und Wirtschaft "Big Data" für ihre Zwecke einsetzt, wie wir alle manipuliert werden und warum sich dem niemand entziehen kann.Überall hinterlassen Menschen Datenspuren und werden von immer mehr Playern dazu angehalten, immer mehr Daten preiszugeben. Immer neuere Sensoren messen nahezu jede Lebensäußerung in Echtzeit. Intelligente Algorithmen machen aus Datenuniversen das unbewusste Handeln der Menschen für die Inhaber der Algorithmen sichtbar. Ihnen erwächst damit eine ungekannte Macht. Das Menschenbild wird zunehmend durch Statistik und Vorhersage bestimmt. Und das verändert die Politik. Längst nutzen Politiker die Erkenntnisse für neue Formen des Regierens: Die Steuerung der Bevölkerung könnte künftig weniger über Gesetze und politische Überzeugungsarbeit ablaufen, als über "algorithmische Regulation".
The Robotic Imaginary
Tracing the connections between human-like robots and AI at the site of dehumanization and exploited labor The word robot—introduced in Karel Čapek’s 1920 play R.U.R.—derives from rabota, the Czech word for servitude or forced labor. A century later, the play’s dystopian themes of dehumanization and exploited labor are being played out in factories, workplaces, and battlefields. In The Robotic Imaginary, Jennifer Rhee traces the provocative and productive connections of contemporary robots in technology, film, art, and literature. Centered around the twinned processes of anthropomorphization and dehumanization, she analyzes the coevolution of cultural and technological robots and ar...
Artificial Whiteness
Dramatic statements about the promise and peril of artificial intelligence for humanity abound, as an industry of experts claims that AI is poised to reshape nearly every sphere of life. Who profits from the idea that the age of AI has arrived? Why do ideas of AI’s transformative potential keep reappearing in social and political discourse, and how are they linked to broader political agendas? Yarden Katz reveals the ideology embedded in the concept of artificial intelligence, contending that it both serves and mimics the logic of white supremacy. He demonstrates that understandings of AI, as a field and a technology, have shifted dramatically over time based on the needs of its funders an...

The Net Effect
"This book about America's romance with computer communication looks at the Internet, not as a harbinger of the future or the next big thing, but as an expression of the times. Streeter demonstrates that our ideas about what connected computers are for have been in constant flux since their invention. In the 1950s they were imagined as the means for fighting nucelar wars, in the 1960s as systems for bringing mathematical certainty to the messy complexity of social life, in the 1970s as countercultural playgrounds, in the 1980s as an icon for what's good about free markets, in the 1990s as a new frontier to be conquered, and, by the late 1990s, as the transcendence of markets in an anarchist open source utopia. The Net Effect teases out how culture has influenced the construction of the internet and how the structure of the internet has played a role in cultures of social and political thought." -- cover.
