X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Come discuss "<a href="https://dbrl.biblio
 commons.com/v2/record/S18C898266">The AI Mirror: How to Reclaim Our Humani
 ty in the Age of Machine Thinking</a>" by Shannon Vallor. The threat artif
 icial intelligence poses to society paradoxically derives from the dangero
 us human values it has internalized\, according to this mind-bending treat
 ise. Philosopher Vallor characterizes AI as a "mirror" that reflects exist
 ing social beliefs\, values and attitudes and uses them to replicate the u
 nseen patterns that have produced a world "rife with racism\, poverty\, in
 equality\, discrimination\, climate catastrophe." Vallor's rigorous analys
 is is fueled by a sense of alarm that never descends into fatalism\, and s
 he makes a convincing argument for "repairing and rebuilding the world" on
  a human scale as a prerequisite "for a sustainable future." It's a fresh 
 and fascinating take on the perils and promises of a much-debated technolo
 gy.</p>\n<p>Vallor is also the author of "Technology and the Virtues: A Ph
 ilosophical Guide to a Future Worth Wanting" and the Baillie Gifford Profe
 ssor in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence in the Department o
 f Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.</p>\n<p>Adults.</p>\nhttps://
