About this listen
Read by the author, Madhumita Murgia, this audio edition includes a fascinating exclusive author interview, led by the global AI lead at publisher Pan Macmillan, Sara Lloyd.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2024
What does it mean to be human in a world that is rapidly changing with the development of artificial intelligence?
Through the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society. Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor at the FT, exposes how AI can strip away our collective and individual sense of agency – and shatter our illusion of free will.
AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small. In this compelling work, Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
