The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (Alex Wood) (Z-Library)

Author： Alex Wood

In the 21st century, we are witnessing a technological revolution that promises to reshape the very fabric of human society. At the heart of this transformation is artificial intelligence (AI), a field that has moved from the realm of science fiction into the domain of reality. AI systems are now embedded in our daily lives—deciding everything from what we watch on streaming platforms to which credit card we are approved for, and even who receives medical treatments. While AI offers immense potential to improve human well-being, it also presents profound ethical challenges that we are only beginning to understand. Alex Wood is an Assistant Professor in Economic Sociology. His research focuses on the implications of digital technology for power relations, working conditions, and the transformation of capitalism. He is currently researching how digital platforms reshape power relations at work and the consequences of artificial intelligence for workplace regimes.Alex completed his PhD in Sociology at the University of Cambridge in 2016 and worked at the universities of Oxford, Birmingham and Bristol before returning to the Cambridge Department of Sociology in September 2024.
