商品描述

In this ground-breaking book, Cambridge-trained sociologist Anthony Elliott argues that much of what passes for conventional wisdom about artificial intelligence is either ill-considered or plain wrong. The reason? The AI revolution is not so much about cyborgs and super-robots in the future, but rather massive changes in the here-and-now of everyday life.

In The Culture of AI, Elliott explores how intelligent machines, advanced robotics, accelerating automation, big data and the Internet of Everything impact upon day-to-day life and contemporary societies. With remarkable clarity and insight, Elliott's examination of the reordering of everyday life highlights the centrality of AI to everything we do - from receiving Amazon recommendations to requesting Uber, and from getting information from virtual personal assistants to talking with chatbots.

The rise of intelligent machines transforms the global economy and threatens jobs, but equally there are other major challenges to contemporary societies - although these challenges are unfolding in complex and uneven ways across the globe. The Culture of AI explores technological innovations from industrial robots to softbots, and from self-driving cars to military drones - and along the way provides detailed treatments of:

  • The history of AI and the advent of the digital universe;
  • automated technology, jobs and employment;
  • the self and private life in times of accelerating machine intelligence;
  • AI and new forms of social interaction;
  • automated vehicles and new warfare;
  • and, the future of AI.

Written by one of the world's foremost social theorists, The Culture of AI is a major contribution to the field and a provocative reflection on one of the most urgent issues of our time. It will be essential reading to those working in a wide variety of disciplines including sociology, science and technology studies, politics, and cultural studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這本開創性的書籍中，劍橋訓練的社會學家安東尼·艾略特（Anthony Elliott）主張，許多被視為關於人工智慧的傳統智慧的觀點，要麼是考慮不周，要麼是完全錯誤的。原因是什麼？人工智慧的革命並不僅僅是關於未來的半人半機和超級機器人，而是關於當前日常生活中發生的巨大變化。

在《人工智慧的文化》（The Culture of AI）一書中，艾略特探討了智能機器、先進機器人技術、加速自動化、大數據和萬物互聯如何影響日常生活和當代社會。艾略特以卓越的清晰度和洞察力，檢視了日常生活的重組，突顯了人工智慧在我們所做的一切中的核心地位——從接收亞馬遜的推薦到叫優步（Uber），以及從獲取虛擬個人助理的信息到與聊天機器人對話。

智能機器的崛起改變了全球經濟並威脅到工作，但同樣，當代社會面臨著其他重大挑戰——儘管這些挑戰在全球範圍內以複雜和不均勻的方式展開。《人工智慧的文化》探討了從工業機器人到軟體機器人，從自駕車到軍事無人機的技術創新，並在此過程中詳細介紹了：

- 人工智慧的歷史和數位宇宙的到來；
- 自動化技術、工作和就業；
- 在加速機器智能時代的自我與私生活；
- 人工智慧與新的社交互動形式；
- 自動駕駛車輛與新型戰爭；
- 以及人工智慧的未來。

《人工智慧的文化》由世界頂尖的社會理論家之一撰寫，是該領域的重要貢獻，也是對當前最緊迫問題之一的挑釁性反思。對於從事社會學、科學與技術研究、政治學和文化研究等多種學科的人士來說，這將是必讀之作。
