Political Responsibility and Tech Governance

AI, Repro-tech and Structural Injustice

    Description

    Not a day goes by without a new story on the perils of technology: from increasingly clever machines that surpass human capability and comprehension to genetic technologies capable of altering the human genome in ways we cannot predict. How can we respond? What should we do politically? Focusing on the rise of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), and the impact of new reproductive and genetic technologies (Repro-tech), Jude Browne questions who has political responsibility for the structural impacts of these technologies and how we might go about preparing for the far-reaching societal changes they may bring. This thought-provoking book tackles some of the most pressing issues of our time and offers a compelling vision for how we can respond to these challenges in a way that is both politically feasible and socially responsible.

    • Explains structural injustice and why it is relevant for thinking about tech-generated harms
    • Brings together literatures ranging from political theory to public policy in order to think about the structural dynamics of transformative technologies in a way that makes the theory accessible to readers without specialized training in AI or Repro-tech
    • Presents new perspectives on technology governance in the democratic context
