One of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI, Verity Harding, discusses her book AI Needs You: How We Can Change AI’s Future and Save Our Own.
AI Needs You gives us hope that we can imbue AI with a deep intentionality that reflects our best values, ideals, and interests, and that serves the public good. AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways, but Verity argues that the shape of AI's future-and of our own-cannot be left only to those building it. It is up to us to guide this technology away from our worst fears and toward a future that we can trust and believe in.
