“AI is the defining technology of our age—the ethical questions it raises are among the most important we face. As If Human gives us a clear set of principles to navigate this new world.”—Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman, CEO, and cofounder, Blackstone “Compelling and inspiring, As If Human takes the debate on AI ethics to a new level—well beyond the visceral moralizing and homespun philosophizing that fetter the current conversation.”—Richard Susskind, OBE KC (Hon), author of Online Courts and the Future of Justice “In this lucid, accessible, and compelling book, Nigel Shadbolt and Roger Hampson invite us to consider how we wish to live with AI in the twenty-first century.

Slota, School of Information, The University of Texas at Austin
