Synopsis
Machine learning systems increasingly influence decisions that were once made by people, from hiring and bail to mortgages, medical testing, and transport. The book examines the question of whether these systems do what we intend, and why that matters as they become more widely used.
Brian Christian follows researchers working to understand and address the alignment problem in machine learning. The account explores the promise and risks of these systems, along with the biases and blind spots present in both technology and culture.
