Adventures from the Dark Side of AI: When Algorithms Turn Predatory

By ANISHA NAINANI

Artificial intelligence has often been heralded for its innovations--curing diseases, driving cars, personalizing content and even creating poetry--but behind these glittering promises lies an uncomfortable real world that remains relatively obscure and troubling. This book delves deeper into this darker realm by exploring AI's often neglected aspects.

AI systems reflect not only our capabilities but also our weaknesses, biases and anxieties. We've created machines that act on our behalf often without questioning how they perform their work or its value to us; to make things simpler we have given away personal information in exchange for tools which monitor or manipulate decisions without us even realizing it.

It's striking that some of the most disturbing effects of AI don't emerge through reckless experimentation or futuristic scenarios, but rather through defaults and systems we accept without question. Indeed, certain of the more efficient AIs have already altered our lives by deciding who receives loans, justice proceedings or content we are exposed to without even our awareness or consent.

This book does not advocate for AI; rather it explores its dark corners where ethics meet innovation and its unintended repercussions manifest themselves. From griefbots and deepfakes, to algorithmic biases and simulation of human condition; each chapter presents real world situations that challenge our assumptions and require further thought.

As technology plays an ever-increasing role in shaping how we live, think and mourn, it is increasingly important for us to ask who controls these tools, their purpose and how best to deal with their ever-growing presence. This book serves as a call for us all to remain aware but not panicky - providing clarity in a society that does not view technology objectively.

Welcome. With AI now at our fingertips, the veil has been lifted for us to see its untold side. Let us first begin by opening our minds with big eyes.
