Event Details

Join us to discuss Code Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI by Madhumita Murgia.

“On the surface, a British poet, an UberEats courier in Pittsburgh, an Indian doctor, and a Chinese activist in exile have nothing in common. But they are in fact linked by a profound common experience-unexpected encounters with artificial intelligence. In Code Dependent, Murgia shows how automated systems are reshaping our lives all over the world, from technology that marks children as future criminals, to an app that is helping to give diagnoses to a remote tribal community… It touches everything from our interpersonal relationships, to our kids' education, work, finances, public services, and even our human rights.” (Excerpt from Publisher’s description) 

Copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date. Ebook copies are available through Boundless with your Frankfort library card.
