ISBN: 9798181535442 - the algorithmic state: how technology is replacing democracy (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Algorithms are taking over government. The question is whether democracy can survive.In China, the social credit system monitors 1.4 billion citizens, rewarding compliance and punishing dissent with algorithmic precision. In the West, tech platforms shape what billions see, believe, and buy - often with more power than elected governments. Predictive policing algorithms decide who gets arrested. Automated welfare systems deny benefits without human review. And deepfake technology is making it impossible to know what is real.In The Algorithmic State, Nicholas Holt examines the most profound political transformation of the digital age: the transfer of power from human institutions to automated systems. This is not a book about technology. It is a book about governance, freedom, and the future of democratic accountability in a world where decisions are made by code.Inside, you will discover: - China's total control experiment: how the social credit system works, who it targets, and whether it can be exported- The platform monopoly: how Google, Amazon, Meta, and Alibaba became more powerful than most nations - and what can be done about it- Deepfakes and the end of truth: how synthetic media is destroying the epistemic foundations of democracy- Automated warfare: drones, AI command systems, and the death of human judgment on the battlefield- The gig economy's new servitude: how platform capitalism created a class of algorithmically managed workersThe central question: Can democracy survive the algorithm Or are we heading toward a world of digital Leviathans - some authoritarian, some corporate, all beyond democratic control This book does not offer easy answers. It offers the rigorous analysis that citizens, policymakers, and technologists need to ask the right questions.…
