商品描述

How data surveillance, digital forensics, and generative AI pose new long-term threats and opportunities--and how we can use them to make better decisions in the face of technological uncertainty.

In The Secret Life of Data, Aram Sinnreich and Jesse Gilbert explore the many unpredictable, and often surprising, ways in which data surveillance, AI, and the constant presence of algorithms impact our culture and society in the age of global networks. The authors build on this basic premise: no matter what form data takes, and what purpose we think it's being used for, data will always have a secret life. How this data will be used, by other people in other times and places, has profound implications for every aspect of our lives--from our intimate relationships to our professional lives to our political systems.

With the secret uses of data in mind, Sinnreich and Gilbert interview dozens of experts to explore a broad range of scenarios and contexts--from the playful to the profound to the problematic. Unlike most books about data and society that focus on the short-term effects of our immense data usage, The Secret Life of Data focuses primarily on the long-term consequences of humanity's recent rush toward digitizing, storing, and analyzing every piece of data about ourselves and the world we live in. The authors advocate for "slow fixes" regarding our relationship to data, such as creating new laws and regulations, ethics and aesthetics, and models of production for our data-fied society.

Cutting through the hype and hopelessness that so often inform discussions of data and society, The Secret Life of Data clearly and straightforwardly demonstrates how readers can play an active part in shaping how digital technology influences their lives and the world at large.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

數據監控、數位取證和生成式人工智慧如何帶來新的長期威脅與機會——以及我們如何利用它們在技術不確定性面前做出更好的決策。

數據的秘密生活中,Aram Sinnreich和Jesse Gilbert探討了數據監控、人工智慧以及算法的持續存在如何以許多不可預測且常常令人驚訝的方式影響我們在全球網絡時代的文化和社會。作者基於這一基本前提:無論數據以何種形式存在,或我們認為它的用途為何,數據總會有其秘密的生活。這些數據將如何被其他人在不同的時間和地點使用,對我們生活的每個方面都有深遠的影響——從我們的親密關係到職業生涯,再到政治體系。

考慮到數據的秘密用途,Sinnreich和Gilbert訪問了數十位專家,探索從輕鬆到深刻再到問題重重的各種情境和背景。與大多數關於數據和社會的書籍專注於我們龐大數據使用的短期影響不同,數據的秘密生活主要關注人類最近急於數位化、儲存和分析有關我們自己及我們所生活的世界的每一個數據片段的長期後果。作者提倡對我們與數據的關係進行“緩慢修復”,例如制定新的法律和規範、倫理和美學,以及為我們的數據化社會建立生產模型。

在切穿經常充斥著數據和社會討論的炒作與絕望之後,數據的秘密生活清晰而直接地展示了讀者如何能夠積極參與塑造數位技術如何影響他們的生活和整個世界。
