The Mirror Problem: How AI Reflects Our Worst Selves
The Algorithmic Book 1 - The Mirror Problem
How AI Reflects Human BiasWhen machines learn to discriminate with mathematical precision… who’s really to blame?
A facial recognition system mistakes a Black politician for a criminal.
An Amazon hiring algorithm downgrades résumés with the word “women’s.”
A predictive policing tool perpetuates racial profiling with algorithmic efficiency.
Welcome to the mirror problem of AI—where our most advanced machines become flawless reflections of our most troubling human biases.
📖 What You’ll DiscoverThe Diversity Paradox – How the most homogeneous industry in history claims to democratise intelligence while excluding entire communities.When Machines Learn to Discriminate – Real case studies where AI doesn’t fail—it works exactly as designed.Cultural Algorithms – Why AI trained in Western contexts often collapses when applied globally.The Governance Gap – Why laws can’t keep pace with technologies that evolve faster than policy can adapt.⚡ Why This Book Matters NowWe’ve built machines that can beat us at chess, Go, and poker—but can’t recognise that a Black woman might be a doctor.
We’ve created algorithms that compose symphonies—but still target diet ads at people with eating disorders.
The consequences aren’t theoretical. They’re urgent, global, and deeply human.
🖋️ What Makes This Book DifferentWritten with the rigour of a tech veteran and the wit of a cultural critic, Gari Johnson draws on 30+ years of technology leadership across Asia Pacific to show how different cultures approach AI—and why it matters.
Created through human–AI collaboration, The Algorithmic Mind itself embodies its the future of intelligence isn’t purely human or artificial, but intelligently integrated.
📚 Part of a Groundbreaking SeriesBook 1: The Mirror Problem – How AI reflects human biasBook 2: The Surveillance Mirror – How AI shapes human behaviourBook 3: The Human Interface – Adapting to life with AI✅ Perfect For Readers Who WantPractical insights without jargonGlobal perspectives beyond Silicon ValleySolutions-focused analysis instead of pessimismThoughtful humor that cuts through the noiseReal case studies that expose patterns, not just anecdotes🔥 The Algorithmic The Mirror Problem is not another tech hype piece or doom-and-gloom rant—it’s your clear-eyed guide to understanding, questioning, and reshaping the future of AI.
