The Big Nine. How the Tech Titans & Their Thinking Machine Could Warp Humanity by Amy Webb

Implications for the American City.

Artificial Intelligence [AI] is, and will continue to, inculcate every aspect of human endeavors. While the technology is rocket science, ordinary people, including the leaders in city hall, can understand the concepts, the goals of the providers and the applications. The Big Nine is a great read, a great education and a great reminder that things can get out of control without vigilance by citizens, users and governments, city governments included. Learning about AI isnow part of very city builders’ job. The Big Nine is a good primer.
