全球百大頂尖思想家；橫跨能源、人口、科技領域的權威專家
「史密爾是我最喜歡的作者。」──比爾・蓋茲

病毒肆虐、晶片短缺、電力不穩、過度使用燃料……
我們必須看清撼動全球經濟根基的七大困局

何為全球經濟的大挑戰？絕對是能源、小麥、病毒和氣候。

能源概括整個世界的運作，使人類可以生產糧食和材料，
種植一顆溫室番茄需要5茶匙柴油，1公斤的麵包需要80毫升的柴油；
能滿足全球需求量的鋼鐵、塑膠、水泥需要多少燃料？

作者呼籲人類應從過於樂觀的預測、政策中甦醒：

各國的脫碳目標不可能實現，
人造食物取代不了農作物……

世界真正的現實面，影響經濟最主要的七大關鍵：
1.能源：人類有多依賴化石燃料？
2.食物生產：如何養活全球80億人口？
3.材料：氨、鋼鐵、混凝土和塑膠，如何主導世界經濟？
4.全球化：運輸和通訊如何讓世界緊密連結？
5.風險：病毒、飲食到天災，為何文明進步沒讓世界更安全、更健康？
6.全球暖化：脫碳言之過早？富裕國家正落實減緩氣候變遷？
7.生物圈退化：災難頻繁、資源匱乏、生育率低，如何面對作繭自縛的生存空間？

Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society—and what this technology means for us all.

An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality.

In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.

懲罰貧窮 : 大數據橫行的自動化時代, 隱藏在演算法之下的不平等歧視 (Automating Inequality)

2019年莉莉安・史密斯圖書獎（Lillian Smith Book Award）
2018年麥加農中心圖書獎（McGannon Center Book Prize）獲獎作品

本書揭露高科技工具影響人權與經濟公平。
看似客觀中立的機器運算，
可能在學習人類提供的資料後，
再複製社會偏見與歧視，形成「自動不平等」！

進入數位時代以來，金融、就業、政治、衛生和公共服務、治安管理等領域的決策都經歷了革命性的變化。如今是由自動化系統而不是由真人來掌控哪些社區受到監管，哪些家庭獲得需要的資源，或是哪些人該接受詐欺調查。雖然人人生活在這種新的資料制度下，但侵入性及懲罰性最強的制度，卻完全針對窮人所設計。

政治學家維吉妮亞・尤班克斯在本書中，有系統地探究了資料探勘、政策演算法、預測性風險模型對美國窮人與勞工階級的影響。書中充滿了令人揪心、瞠目結舌的故事，例如印第安納州一名婦人因為癌症末期住院治療，錯過了重新認證補助資格的預約，被取消福利救濟；賓州的某個單親媽媽每天都擔心失去女兒的撫養權，只因她符合某種統計形象。

美國一直以來使用最尖端的科學與技術來遏制、調查和懲戒窮人。「數位追蹤」與「自動化決策系統」就像以前的郡立濟貧院以及科學慈善運動，讓中產階級看不到貧困，讓國家抽離了道德規範，做出非人道的選擇：誰能獲得溫飽、誰得挨餓受凍；誰有住房、誰依舊無家可歸；政府應該拆散哪些家庭。在這過程中，它們更削弱了民主，背叛了人們最珍視的民族價值觀。

也許，貧窮並非我們都需要馬上面臨的課題，但在演算法的使用之下，所有人都將無可避免地受到資源分配的影響。這本研究深入、慷慨激昂的好書來得正是時候！
