Mindless: The Human Condition in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Skidelsky critically assesses the promises and perils of AI, arguing that while technology has the potential to liberate humanity from mundane tasks, it also poses significant risks. He warns of increased surveillance, job redundancy, and the erosion of human agency, suggesting that society may be entering a new form of digital control reminiscent of Bentham's Panopticon. The book challenges readers to consider whether machines are enhancing human freedom or entrenching new forms of dependency and control.
Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including economics, philosophy, and literature, Skidelsky presents a nuanced critique of the uncritical embrace of technological progress. He emphasizes the need for a thoughtful approach to AI, one that prioritizes human values and ethical considerations over blind faith in innovation. Ultimately, Mindless serves as a cautionary tale, urging society to reflect on the direction of technological advancement and its implications for the human condition.
