商品描述
The rapid and tumultuous technological transformation of our societies has triggered a self-exploratory public debate about what it means to be human. What are our human potential, talents, and powers - what, essentially, is our place in the modern world?
Will a culture of machines out-compete a culture of humanity?
In this thought-provoking but ultimately hopeful book, scholar and leading technology critic Gry Hasselbalch invites readers to reflect on the shifting dynamics between humans and the AI-powered technologies increasingly shaping our world. Exploring the distinctiveness of human power, the book addresses current debates about technology that portray humans as powerless and flawed - in essence outdated software in dire need of a technological fix - arguing that human power must remain central in discussions about AI and technology. It investigates seven key traits which set humans apart from machines: Creativity, Intuition, Emotion, Life, Defiance, Love, and Wisdom. Drawing on interviews and examples from across arts - including literature, visual arts, film and music - and from technology politics and policymaking, Human Power explains how these traits provide a foundation for a new politics in the AI Machine Age. One that does not diminish and reduce human power, but actively protects and reinforces it.
If human power is not a computational process, then what is it? Human Power: Seven Traits for the Politics of the AI Machine Age gives human power - our humanity and fundamental "humanness" - a renewed voice in a debate dominated by fears and preconceptions about technological power. This important new work will appeal to journalists, policymakers, artists, and educators--and anyone else interested in the rapidly growing role of AI and digital technology in our lives.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
快速而劇烈的技術轉型使我們的社會引發了一場自我探索的公共辯論，討論成為人類的意義。我們的人類潛能、才能和力量是什麼——我們在現代世界中的位置究竟是什麼？
機器文化會超越人類文化嗎？
在這本引人深思但最終充滿希望的書中，學者及知名科技評論家Gry Hasselbalch邀請讀者反思人類與日益影響我們世界的人工智慧（AI）技術之間不斷變化的動態。這本書探討了人類力量的獨特性，針對當前將人類描繪為無能和有缺陷的技術辯論——本質上是急需技術修正的過時軟體——提出人類力量必須在有關AI和技術的討論中保持核心地位。它調查了七個使人類與機器區別開來的關鍵特徵：創造力、直覺、情感、生命、反抗、愛與智慧。透過來自文學、視覺藝術、電影和音樂等藝術領域的訪談和範例，以及來自技術政治和政策制定的案例，Human Power解釋了這些特徵如何為AI機器時代的新政治奠定基礎。這種政治不會削弱和降低人類力量，而是積極保護和加強它。
如果人類力量不是一種計算過程，那麼它是什麼？Human Power: Seven Traits for the Politics of the AI Machine Age在一場由對技術力量的恐懼和成見主導的辯論中，賦予人類力量——我們的人性和基本的「人性」——一個更新的聲音。這部重要的新作將吸引記者、政策制定者、藝術家和教育工作者，以及任何對AI和數位技術在我們生活中日益增長的角色感興趣的人。
