‘Artificial Unintelligence’ reviewed on Read This Book!

By February 5, 2020November 9th, 2023No Comments

Cody Hennesy gave a thumbs up to Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World by Meredith Broussard in the latest installment of Read This Book from the University of Minnesota Libraries.

In the book, Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally — hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners — that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work.

Hennesy was joined by Read This Book host, Lisa Von Drasek.
