Rated The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future 6/10

The book contains a good presentation of various applications of AI that can be seen as having a positive impact in society, providing us with a reminder that much of the societal harm from digital systems stems from the way these systems embed (and often amplify) inequalities and oppressive mechanisms that are already in place. In my opinion, the author's proposals on how to build technology differently and towards good outcomes are not really convincing, but this reminder that "another AI is possible" is, in itself, a valuable contribution to public debates on algorithmic technologies and their regulation.
