The People Vs Tech

Résumé du livre

Jamie Bartlett is Director of the Center for the Analysis of Social Media and a frequent contributor to the Daily Telegraph. The Dark Net is his first book.

Artificial intelligence, often dramatized in science fiction as a force capable of overtaking humanity, presents a more immediate concern in its impact on employment. While AI excels at repetitive tasks, it struggles with roles requiring creativity or adaptability, leading to a divide between high-paying, non-routine jobs and low-paying, non-routine work, as middle-income, routine positions face automation. This growing economic polarization threatens democracy by deepening inequality, eroding the middle class, and exacerbating societal divides. Just as a successful party relies on active, constructive participation, democracy depends on engaged citizens who contribute thoughtfully and equitably. However, modern technology poses challenges to these democratic principles, reshaping participation and governance in ways that demand urgent attention—a theme explored further in the next section.
