Taming Silicon Valley - How We Can Ensure That AI Works for Us

How Big Tech is taking advantage of us, how AI is making it;worse, and how we can create a thriving, AI-positive world. On balance, will AI help humanity or harm it? AI could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Or it could be a disaster, leading to the downfall of democracy, or even our extinction. In Marcus explains the potential--and potential risks--of AI in the clearest possible terms and how Big Tech has effectively captured policymakers. He begins by laying out what is lacking in current AI, what the greatest risks of AI are, and how Big Tech has been playing both the public and the government, before digging into why the US government has thus far been ineffective at reining in Big Tech. He then offers real tools for readers, including eight suggestions for what a coherent AI policy should like--from data rights to layered AI oversight to meaningful tax reform--and closes with how ordinary citizens can push for what is so desperately needed.
