Political Responsibility and Tech Governance

Discusses how we should think politically about the ways in which AI and Repro-tech structurally change society.

Focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) and reproductive and genetic technologies (Repro-tech), Jude Browne asks who is politically responsible for the impacts of these transformative technologies and examines how we can respond to the societal challenges they pose in a way that is both politically feasible and socially responsible.Not a day goes by without a new story on the perils of technology: from increasingly clever machines that surpass human capability and comprehension to genetic technologies capable of altering the human genome in ways we cannot predict. How can we respond? What should we do politically? Focusing on the rise of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), and the impact of new reproductive and genetic technologies (Repro-tech), Jude Browne questions who has political responsibility for the structural impacts of these technologies and how we might go about preparing for the far-reaching societal changes they may bring. This thought-provoking book tackles some of the most pressing issues of our time and offers a compelling vision for how we can respond to these challenges in a way that is both politically feasible and socially responsible.
