Artificial Unintelligence

Artificial Unintelligence critiques the pervasive belief—which the author terms "technochauvinism"—that technology, particularly AI, can solve all complex human problems. Data journalist Meredith Broussard argues convincingly that computers, relying solely on mathematics, fundamentally misunderstand the nuances of the real world.

The book urges a shift from building "human-replacement" systems to "human-assist" systems, emphasizing that technology is only a tool. It’s a necessary, accessible, and timely warning against the dangers of blindly trusting computation.
