商品描述

Algorithms are probably the most sophisticated tools that people have had at their disposal since the beginnings of human history. They have transformed science, industry, society. They upset the concepts of work, property, government, private life, even humanity. Going easily from one extreme to the other, we rejoice that they make life easier for us, but fear that they will enslave us. To get beyond this vision of good vs evil, this book takes a new look at our time, the age of algorithms. Creations of the human spirit, algorithms are what we made them. And they will be what we want them to be: it's up to us to choose the world we want to live in.

  •  
  • The authors, both eminent computer scientists, avoid simplistic analysis, avoiding both technophile enthusiasm and apocalyptic technophobia
  • Examines issues raised by algorithms, in particular work, property, government and privacy, from technical, philosophical, and societal perspectives
    • Explains complex and technical issues in terms everyone can understand

商品描述(中文翻譯)

演算法可能是自人類歷史開始以來，人類所擁有的最複雜的工具。它們改變了科學、工業和社會。它們顛覆了工作、財產、政府、私生活，甚至人性的概念。我們在一個極端與另一個極端之間輕易地轉換，既高興於它們讓我們的生活變得更輕鬆，又擔心它們會奴役我們。為了超越這種善與惡的視角，本書重新審視我們的時代——演算法的時代。演算法是人類精神的創造物，它們是我們所創造的。它們將成為我們想要的樣子：選擇我們想要生活的世界，取決於我們自己。

- 兩位作者都是傑出的計算機科學家，避免簡化的分析，既不抱持技術迷的熱情，也不陷入末日技術恐懼。
- 從技術、哲學和社會的角度，探討演算法所引發的問題，特別是工作、財產、政府和隱私。
- 用每個人都能理解的方式解釋複雜和技術性問題。
