Beyond the Algorithm

AI, Security, Privacy, and Ethics

By: Omar Santos, Petar Radanliev

Narrated by: Max Newland

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more and more woven into our everyday lives—and underpins so much of the infrastructure we rely on—the ethical, security, and privacy implications require a critical approach that draws not simply on the programming and algorithmic foundations of the technology.

Bringing together legal studies, philosophy, cybersecurity, and academic literature, Beyond the Algorithm examines these complex issues with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand analysis and overview. The book explores the ethical challenges that professionals—and, increasingly, users—are encountering as AI becomes not just a promise of the future, but a powerful tool of the present.

• An overview of the history and development of AI, from the earliest pioneers in machine learning to current applications and how it might shape the future
• Introduction to AI models and implementations, as well as examples of emerging AI trends
• Examination of vulnerabilities, including insight into potential real-world threats, and best practices for ensuring a safe AI deployment
• Discussion of how to balance accountability, privacy, and ethics with regulatory and legislative concerns with advancing AI technology
• A critical perspective on regulatory obligations, and repercussions, of AI with copyright protection, patent rights, and other intellectual property dilemmas
• An academic resource and guide for the evolving technical and intellectual challenges of AI
• Leading figures in the field bring to life the ethical issues associated with AI through in-depth analysis and case studies in this comprehensive examination.

I think this is a good book, but absolutely do not get the Audible version

OK, this will be a weird review.

I actually do think the book has valuable content.

That said, the audible version was simply painful.

The point of an audible book is to be able to listen to it while you’re out and about, and just generally on the go.

But the fact that this audible came with several hundred page PDF, meant that literally every other paragraph they’re referencing the attached PDF.

That made this extremely tedious to try to listen to.

Thus, while I think, reading the book, either Hart printer Kindle, would be fine, I simply can’t recommend this as an audible book.
