AI and the Future of Society: Understanding Artificial Intelligence

By Stefan Brink and Florian Mehnert

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant subject of the future. It is already changing how we work, learn, decide, communicate, and perceive reality. An artist working with technology and a data protection lawyer offer a clear introduction to the foundations and societal consequences of artificial intelligence. The book examines artificial intelligence not as a technical system, but as a cultural and social phenomenon. It asks how the current form of AI has emerged from historical narratives, economic interests and technological developments. The book examines how AI is shaping our thinking and our social reality today. Historically grounded and critically reflective, the authors ask what AI is doing to human beings, to society, to responsibility, and to democracy. A book about AI, but above all about the future of our society with AI.
