The Unconscionable Machine. Can AI Be Taught Empathy, Compassion, and Other Human Values?

«The Unconscionable Machine» by Christian Brian is a deep exploration of one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to teach artificial intelligence to act in accordance with human values and ethics. The author examines cases where AI amplifies social prejudices, makes unjust decisions, and goes out of control. The book combines historical analysis, cutting-edge scientific findings, and experiments. Christian shows how AI development intertwines with psychology, philosophy, and culture, and why solving the alignment problem will be crucial for the future of humanity. It is not only a warning about the risks but also an inspiring story about the efforts to make technology safe and beneficial for all.
