Sinossi
Artificial intelligence is no longer arriving. It is already deciding.
From what news we see to how we are evaluated at work, to who qualifies for housing, healthcare, or opportunity, intelligent systems now shape daily life quietly and at scale.
Most people experience AI not as a machine, but as ease. Convenience. Efficiency. Help.
That ease is not neutral.
BEFORE AI DECIDES is a field guide for living inside systems that increasingly make decisions for us.
Drawing on decades of experience in science, technology, and public communication, Payson R. Stevens shows how power shifts when speed outruns human judgment, and how human agency can be restored where choices disappear.
The Nine Pillars offer practical principles for keeping responsibility, dignity, and democratic choice visible as AI grows more powerful.
“Brings rare clarity to one of the defining challenges of our time.”
Erik Viirre, MD, PhD, UC San Diego
“A clear-eyed wake-up call about protecting human judgment in an automated world.”
Anne Leer, AI Policy and Governance Expert
“A clear, grounded way to keep human intelligence alive and amplified.”
Jessica Seddon, PhD, Yale Jackson School
“An essential framework for safeguarding our rights and humanity.”
Charles M. Levine, former Vice President, Random House

Before AI Decides (Paperback)
Print on DemandDa: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Artificial intelligence increasingly shapes the choices that affect our lives. From information and employment to healthcare, education, and public services, automated systems now influence decisions once made by people.Before AI Decides: Nine Ways to Stay Human examines what happens when judgment quietly migrates from humans to systems, not through malice or conspiracy, but through speed, scale, and default design. Drawing on more than five decades of work across science, technology, design, and storytelling, Payson R. Stevens offers a clear and accessible framework for understanding where automation helps, and where human responsibility must remain non-negotiable.Rather than arguing for or against artificial intelligence, the book asks a more enduring question: what must never be delegated?At its core are Nine Ways to Stay Human, practical principles readers can use to recognize when systems are assisting and when they are deciding. These principles address issues with global relevance, including opaque decision-making, lack of accountability, mental health impacts, creative labor, environmental costs, and the erosion of due process.Through real-world examples and plain-language explanation, the book helps readers: Identify when automated systems function as authorities rather than toolsUnderstand why many AI systems cannot fully explain their outcomesInsist on human oversight in high-stakes decisionsProtect children and mental health from engagement-driven systemsDefend human creativity, dignity, and fair compensationTake responsibility for fixing harm when systems failWhile the examples are contemporary, the questions this book raises are universal: who decides, who is accountable, and what must remain human in an automated world.Written for general readers, educators, policymakers, and institutions, Before AI Decides is accessible without technical background and grounded in lived human experience. It calls not for slowing innovation, but for strengthening judgment, responsibility, and care where they matter most. Artificial intelligence shapes our lives. Before AI Decides shows how, through Nine Ways, to recognize when systems decide for us and how to keep judgment human. This item is printed on demand.
