Krátky popis
Depending on the news you read, new tools like AI will either save
or destroy us. But our response to emerging technology’s
‘unprecedented’ threats actually follows a pattern as old as
civilisation. From ancient Athens to COVID-19, social media to
spam, Alicia Wanless shows how humans have always consumed
information, whether accurate or not.First a new technology changes
how information is shared, broadening its availability and
accelerating how fast it travels. Then, as more people engage with
this new content, fresh ideas arise, often challenging prevailing
beliefs. Some use the new tools to promote their views, win power
or simply profit, adding to the mounting information
pollution.Competition and conflict follow. We scramble—in vain—to
control information flows and use of the new
technology.&,nbsp,With democracies worldwide lurching from
crisis to crisis, knee-jerk reactions to information conflict won’t
suffice. What’s needed is an understanding of our nature as
‘information animals’, in a millennia-long relationship with
technology—and of how a content-saturated world impacts the
political battle for hearts and minds.
