Overview

What happens when machines begin to decide-not just calculate, but weigh risks, allocate resources, and shape destinies-without conscience or accountability? In When AI Decides: Power, Progress, and the Future of Humanity, Isabel Daniels explores this pivotal shift with clear-eyed curiosity and calm urgency. Through vivid real-world stories-from traffic algorithms rerouting emergencies to opaque systems denying insurance claims-this book reveals how decision-making authority is quietly concentrating in a few powerful hands, accelerating breakthroughs in medicine and science while eroding human skills and agency. Daniels navigates the tensions: remarkable progress alongside unintended harms, innovative governance experiments amid regulatory lags, and deepening entanglement where human and machine intelligence blur boundaries of identity and moral consideration. Neither alarmist nor celebratory, the narrative balances hope with sober concern, grounding abstract dilemmas in concrete cases that illuminate trade-offs societies face today. Forward-looking yet rooted in reality, this compelling examination asks how humanity can steer machine decision-making toward broader flourishing rather than constriction. Join the essential conversation shaping tomorrow. Add When AI Decides to your cart today and discover pathways to a future where technology amplifies, rather than diminishes, human potential.
