Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction 2024
In an era where the meaning of what it is to be human is being changed by AI. In this is the unprecidented exploration of the impact of AI on our lives
Code dependent is an investigation of the effect of strong yet erroneous, and often exploitive technologies on individuals, communities, and society at large.
Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor at the FT, brings the light on what it means to be human in a world changed by artificial intelligence, revealing the immense risk of our growing reliance on automated decision-making.
In a world where total strangers, from completely different backgrounds are all connected through their experiences with artificial intelligence. Murgia shows us how our dependence on automated systems is reshaping our lives all over the world, from technology that marks off children as future criminals to an app that is helping to give diagnoses to a remote tribal community.
Our day-to-day lives are already infiltrated by AI, whether through language-generating chatbots like ChatGPT and social media. But it’s also affecting us in more insidious ways. It seeps into everything from our interpersonal relationships, to our children’s education, our work, finances, public services, and even our human rights.
