We, Robots: Questioning the Neutrality of Technology, Ethical AI and Technological Determinism
暫譯: 我們，機器人：質疑科技的中立性、倫理人工智慧與技術決定論
Lauwaert, Lode, Chomanski, Bartek
商品描述
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 many other systems that surround us. The three main questions tackled are:
- Is technology neutral? Or is the design often intertwined with a Western or male perspective?
- What are the ethical risks of AI? Is it necessarily biased? Is the climate problem linked to smart technologies?
- Is technological determinism correct? In other words, 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書從哲學的角度探討了傳統的技術工具，如錘子和電鑽，以及現代技術：自駕車、ChatGPT、智慧型手機、應用程式、蒸汽機、核電廠、電腦以及圍繞我們的許多其他系統。書中探討的三個主要問題是：
- 技術是中立的嗎？還是設計往往與西方或男性的觀點交織在一起？
- 人工智慧的倫理風險是什麼？它必然存在偏見嗎？氣候問題是否與智慧技術有關？
- 技術決定論是正確的嗎？換句話說，自數位革命以來，世界是否由工程師控制，還是他們的發明僅僅是社會的產物？
Lode Lauwaert 和 Bartek Chomanski 以清晰明瞭的方式提供了對技術和人工智慧的獨特視角。結果是對我們時代關鍵主題的細緻且批判性的看法。本書廣泛吸引學生、研究人員以及非學術觀眾，作為技術與人工智慧哲學的入門讀物。
