Description
Technology described as artificial intelligence is becoming more pervasive, with AI algorithms transforming science and industry, along with our everyday lives. They can rapidly analyse and classify all manner of data. They can generate passages of text and produce realistic images. They are used to design medicines, to autonomously drive cars. They are our tour guides through the vast collection of information on the web. They observe us to suggest products to purchase, movies to watch, and music to hear. They keep a watchful eye on us through cameras at supermarket self-checkouts. And their scope of application is only widening—increasingly, we are interacting with AI without knowing it.
But what is AI really? Is it truly intelligent? Is it always a benignly useful modern-world companion? Not if we consider the increasing volume of AI-enabled criminal activity or the ethical dilemmas posed by the use of AI-powered weaponry. Further, examples already exist showing that the careless use of AI can lead to the exacerbation of social inequalities.
AI systems, no matter how complex their workings or impressive their abilities, are the product of deliberate human design—not just the design of algorithms, but also strategies for sourcing and managing the massive quantities of data on which they operate. But it’s not just the creators of AI who need to think about the impact of the technology. Given its ramifications, all of us need to start thinking about how we want to live with AI.
Living with AI by Campbell Wilson delves into these critical questions and issues, offering readers insight into the pervasive influence of AI in modern society and encouraging reflection on its ethical and practical implications.

Courting Power
Courts aren’t just there to settle divorces, sentence law-breakers, and resolve corporate disputes. A healthy legal system, one that ensures access, transparency, and accountability, is fundamental to democracy. When the system works, the courts act as a check on government power, holding our politicians and bureaucrats to account. In Courting Power, Isabelle Reinecke, founder of Grata Fund, Australia’s first strategic...Paperback$2299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Dismal Diplomacy, Disposable Sovereignty
As America’s shoeshine boy in the South Pacific, Australia is accustomed to being told what to do. In the space of a mere five years, the subjugation of Australia’s national interest to that of the United States in provoking China under President Trump led us very quickly into a hostile relationship with the rising power of the People’s Republic of...Paperback$2299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Corruption rewards loyalty through appointments to office and by preferencing those within...Paperback$2299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Why should we in Australia, or any country, care about poverty, human rights atrocities, health epidemics, environmental catastrophes, weapons proliferation, or any other problems afflicting faraway countries, when they don’t, as is often the case, have any direct or immediate impact on our own safety or prosperity?

The exposés in early 2021 of sexism and sexual violence in Parliament House prompted women across the country (and some men) to take to stages, lecterns, and social media to express their rage and demand action.
