Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How AI, Social Media, and the Attention Economy Rewired Humanity-and What We Can Do to Take Back ControlWe were told algorithms would make life easier.They did.They helped us navigate traffic, detect fraud, discover new music, diagnose diseases, and connect with people around the world.But somewhere along the way, the objective changed.Instead of simply serving us, many algorithms began competing for something far more valuable than our money-our attention.Today, invisible algorithms decide what billions of people watch, read, believe, buy, and discuss. They shape elections, influence markets, amplify outrage, reward sensationalism, and increasingly determine what information reaches us-and what never does.Most people don't even realize it's happening.In The Algorithms That Ruined a Generation, technology author Gathu Kamau delivers a compelling, research-driven investigation into one of the defining issues of the twenty-first century.Drawing on U.S. Congressional hearings, EU investigations, academic research, whistleblower testimony, government reports, and real-world case studies, this book separates fact from fiction to explain how algorithms have quietly become some of the most powerful forces shaping modern society.Inside, you'll discover: - What algorithms really are-and why understanding them matters.- How artificial intelligence transformed simple software into systems that learn, predict, and influence behaviour.- The extraordinary ways AI is improving healthcare, education, science, transportation, cybersecurity, and business.- Why social media platforms are designed to maximize engagement-and how the attention economy works.- How recommendation algorithms shape habits, beliefs, relationships, and public opinion.- The hidden dangers of algorithmic bias, misinformation, echo chambers, and deepfakes.- What governments around the world-including the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom-are doing to regulate AI.- Practical solutions for parents, educators, business leaders, policymakers, and citizens to build a healthier digital future.Unlike books that portray AI as either humanity's saviour or its greatest threat, The Algorithms That Ruined a Generation takes a balanced, evidence-based approach. It acknowledges the extraordinary promise of artificial intelligence while confronting the unintended consequences of systems optimized for engagement, profit, and influence.This is more than a book about technology.…
