商品描述
Inviting us to an active role in reshaping technology is at the core of Digital Wisdom: Searching for Agency in the Age of AI. The book helps you understand more about the underlying issues of AI, social media, and data analytics, so we all can pick a better path together. This book explores how fundamental aspects of today's digital technology intersect with our rights and assumptions about private life, individual autonomy, and social boundaries.
This exploration begins with a discussion about what all that data collected about us is for, and how companies, governments, and ourselves (as people who also work for those companies and governments) might want to alter the dynamic. The book looks at our changing sense of privacy, and how data is not just recorded but fused, correlated, shared, and acted upon in ways that seem fundamentally different than our laws or principles once assumed. It talks about technology's role in making us seem to be more divided than ever, affecting our politics, our pastimes, and even our basic ability to connect with one another. Examining ways in which technology is used to change our minds--sometimes for our benefit, and sometimes to our detriment--the book breaks down the increasing use of algorithms that impact our everyday lives, so we can build a more ethical practice of digital technology.
This exploration about our digital future invites us to, instead, build a practice of Digital Wisdom. It makes an argument for how we can use this wisdom to live more fully in the ways we want, with the features of technological advancement we choose. It suggests how our educational systems, industries, and governments could shift to better support Digital Wisdom. These ideas are not exhaustive; Digital Wisdom is a mindset rather than a simple set of steps to follow. Applying this mindset is going to take creativity from all of us, but, in the end, the Digital Wisdom mindset will guide us in taking concrete steps towards a more responsible digital future.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
邀請我們積極參與重塑科技的角色是《數位智慧：在 AI 時代尋找主體性》的核心。本書幫助您更深入了解 AI、社交媒體和數據分析的潛在問題，以便我們能夠共同選擇更好的道路。本書探討當今數位科技的基本面向如何與我們對私生活、個人自主權和社會界限的權利與假設交織在一起。
這一探索始於對我們所收集的數據的用途的討論，以及公司、政府和我們自己（作為那些公司和政府的工作人員）可能希望如何改變這種動態。本書考察了我們對隱私的變化感知，以及數據不僅僅是被記錄，而是以看似根本不同於我們法律或原則所假設的方式進行融合、關聯、共享和行動。它談到了科技在使我們看起來比以往任何時候都更加分裂的角色，影響著我們的政治、休閒活動，甚至是我們彼此連結的基本能力。本書檢視了科技如何被用來改變我們的思維——有時是為了我們的利益，有時則對我們不利——並分析了影響我們日常生活的算法使用日益增加的情況，以便我們能夠建立更具倫理的數位科技實踐。
這一關於我們數位未來的探索邀請我們建立數位智慧的實踐。它論證了我們如何利用這種智慧以我們所希望的方式更充分地生活，並選擇我們所選擇的科技進步特徵。它建議我們的教育系統、產業和政府可以如何轉變，以更好地支持數位智慧。這些想法並不全面；數位智慧是一種心態，而不是一套簡單的步驟。應用這種心態需要我們所有人的創造力，但最終，數位智慧的心態將指引我們朝著更負責任的數位未來邁出具體步伐。
