Cyber Republic

di George Zarkadakis (Autore)

The MIT Press, 2020

A science and tech expert reveals how we can make liberal democracies more inclusive—and the digital economy more equitable—in the age of artificial intelligence. Around the world, liberal democracies are in crisis. Citizens have lost faith in their government; right-wing nationalist movements frame the political debate. At the same time, economic inequality is increasing dramatically; digital technologies have created a new class of super-rich entrepreneurs. Automation threatens to transform the free economy into a zero-sum game in which capital wins and labor loses. But is this digital dystopia inevitable? In Cyber Republic, technology and management expert Geroge Zarkadakis explains how artificial intelligence—together with intelligent robotics, sophisticated sensors, communication networks, and big data—will fundamentally reshape the global economy. Zarkadakis presents an alternative, outlining a plan for using technology to make liberal democracies more inclusive and the digital economy more equitable. We need not fear automation, he argues. In a post-work future, intelligent machines can collaborate with humans to achieve the human goals of inclusivity and equality. Cyber Republic is no less than a guide for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution.
