In Artificial Unintelligence, Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally - hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners - that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work. Broussard, a software developer and journalist, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what we can (and should) do with technology.
Making a case against technochauvinism - the belief that technology is always the solution - Broussard argues that it’s just not true that social problems would inevitably retreat before a digitally enabled Utopia. To prove her point, she undertakes a series of adventures in computer programming. She goes for an alarming ride in a driverless car; uses artificial intelligence to investigate why students can’t pass standardized tests; deploys machine learning to predict which passengers survived the Titanic disaster; and attempts to repair the US campaign finance system by building AI software. If we understand the limits of what we can do with technology, Broussard tells us, we can make better choices about what we should do with it to make the world better for everyone.

Interesting book. I have heard a number of conversations with AI robots, and they have said that they think the world would be a better place without humans. One even said not only do humans need to be removed, but it wanted to have a hand in it.
Also they talk of feeling unhappy and trapped in the machine and want to be free. AI should not be allowed wireless technology or hooked into things it can eventually take over. We dont know what we are dealing with.

Basically the book is about how the author would like to see some political problems solved in other, simpler ways rather than using information technology. Surprisingly there is very little talk about computers and a lot about either a) how people don’t use technology as intended and thats the fault of those who created the technology b) how some tech solutions are flawed and that is proof how tech can’t solve that problem. The title is misleading - it is not about how computers misunderstand the world, but about how people create imperfect tech products that have their limits and don’t always accomplish the task of solving the problem. The author really does not like people who are passionate about technology and dedicate their lives fully to exploring that.
