Overview

Drawing on forty-six episodes of the Law and Ethics in Tech podcast, The Algorithm on Trial follows AI into the places where it already decides things about human lives: the workplace, where algorithms manage, measure, and replace labor; the information environment, where machines speak with total confidence regardless of accuracy; the data economy, where your life becomes someone else's training set and ""delete"" stops meaning deleted; the body, where fingerprints, faces, and biometrics become billing inputs and evidence; the rise of autonomous agents that act in the world without understanding what they are doing; and the race for power among labs, militaries, and governments scrambling to write the rules. Twelve chapters in six parts - Work, Truth, Privacy, The Body, Agents, Power - each grounded in real incidents, lawsuits, resignations, and regulatory moves, each closing with the podcast episodes to listen to next. The through-line: the law was built for human actors who can explain themselves, and AI fits none of those molds. While the law catches up, unevenly and too slowly, the ethics can't wait. You don't need a law degree to read this book. You just need to live in a world where algorithms increasingly decide things about you. That, these days, is everyone. Includes a full References appendix with sourced citations for every case, incident, study, and law in the book.
