to develop a new social contract with AI, one that ensures that the technology serves humanity rather than dominating it. They propose a framework for accountability that includes transparency, fairness, responsibility, and trustworthiness. They also call for the establishment of a new regulatory body, the Office for Responsible AI, to oversee the development and deployment of AI systems.
Shadbolt and Hampson draw on a wide range of examples, from autonomous vehicles to algorithmic decision-making in criminal justice, to illustrate the potential pitfalls of AI if left unchecked. They warn against the dangers of bias, discrimination, and loss of human agency that can result from the unchecked expansion of AI technologies.
Ultimately, all three books reviewed here make a compelling case for the importance of thoughtful and proactive regulation of AI. As the technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, it is essential that we take the necessary steps to ensure that AI serves the common good and upholds the values of our society. By learning from past regulatory successes and failures, and by engaging in open and informed debate about the ethical implications of AI, we can shape a future in which artificial intelligence is a force for good rather than a source of harm.
