But while AI in its many forms has become ubiquitous and its benefits to society and the individual have grown, its impacts are varied. Concerns about its unintended effects and misuses have become paramount in conversations about the successful integration of AI in society. This volume explores the many facets of artificial its technology, its potential futures, its effects on labor and the economy, its relationship with inequalities, its role in law and governance, its challenges to national security, and what it says about us as humans.

This book is an artifact marking a turning point in the world. It is a compendium of leading intellectuals—Computer Scientists, Political Scientists, Economists, Philosophers, etc. from Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, MIT, Google, etc.—all writing about “AI and Society” in the same year that ChatGPT was released.

If you want to think clearly about what the future might look like, about the existing debates and controversies, etc., look towards this book.
