AI has unparalleled transformative potential to reshape society but without legal scrutiny, international oversight and public debate, we are sleepwalking into a future written by algorithms which encode regressive biases into our daily lives. As governments and corporations worldwide embrace AI technologies in pursuit of efficiency and profit, we are at risk of losing our common humanity: an attack that is as insidious as it is pervasive.

Leading privacy expert Ivana Bartoletti exposes the reality behind the AI revolution, from the low-paid workers who train algorithms to recognise cancerous polyps, to the rise of data violence and the symbiotic relationship between AI and right-wing populism. Impassioned and timely, An Artificial Revolution is an essential primer to understand the intersection of technology and geopolitical forces shaping the future of civilisation, and the political response that will be required to ensure the protection of democracy and human rights.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Review: An Artificial Revolution ‘This is a great read, giving you enough information to perhaps inspire you to look into this further, or to just consider where your data is held and what it is being used for.’ http://independentbookreviews.co.uk/book/an-artificial-revolution/ - Fiona Sharp, Independent Book Reviews

‘Books of the Year 2020’ ‘A great book for those interested in AI and power-dynamics.’ https://burleyfisherbooks.com/blogs/news/books-of-the-year-2020 - Enya Nolan, Burley Fisher Books

‘An Interview with Ivana Bertoletti, Technical Director at Deloitte.’ ‘We cannot leave AI and its future to the technologists. AI is about power, and this is the time to ensure that power benefits us all. I wrote An Artificial Revolution because I wanted people to talk about AI at the kitchen table.’ https://www.trustinsoda.com/blog/an-interview-with-ivana-bartoletti-technical-director-at-deloitte--253495/ - Alfie Rice, SODA

‘Modern democracy: Data, surveillance creep and more authoritarian regimes?’ ‘What are governments and corporations doing with the data they are collecting, and what is the ultimate end goal? As Ivana Bartoletti states in her recent book An Artificial Revolution On Power, Politics and AI, “Data is not neutral, and the fact that we collect a huge amount of it brings many challenges – not just from the standpoint of privacy but also from the standpoint of power dynamics”.’ https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/modern-democracy-data-surveillance-creep-and-more-authoritarian-regimes/ - Oriana Medicott, Observer Research Foundation
