Sinopsis

Algorithm Bias Systems explores the pervasive issue of algorithmic bias, revealing how these systems can perpetuate and amplify societal inequalities. Far from being neutral, algorithms used in areas like hiring and criminal justice often reflect existing biases in data, leading to unfair outcomes. For instance, search algorithms can reinforce stereotypes, while AI-driven hiring processes may discriminate against certain groups due to biased training data. The book argues that algorithmic bias isn't a mere technical glitch but a systemic problem rooted in flawed design and a lack of diverse perspectives.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, starting with the fundamental concepts of algorithmic bias and its manifestations. It then delves into specific examples, such as biased search results and discriminatory hiring practices. The analysis extends to the use of algorithms in criminal justice, highlighting how they can perpetuate racial disparities in sentencing. Throughout its chapters, the book uses case studies, empirical research, and statistical analysis to support its arguments, drawing from real-world datasets to illustrate the impact of bias.

Ultimately, Algorithm Bias Systems aims to provide practical strategies for mitigating bias, including algorithm auditing, data diversification, and ethical guidelines for AI development. This makes the book uniquely valuable, offering insights for policymakers, data scientists, and anyone concerned about the societal implications of AI and the quest for algorithmic fairness.

Democratic Delusions - How the...

Natalie Fenton

A free media is inextricably linked to a healthy democracy, but in many parts of the world liberal democracies are deemed to be dying or on the demise—a demise that many forms of media have enabled while heralding themselves as democracy's savior. The hollowing out of democracy in these ways has left many people questioning the value of (neo)liberal democratic societies. What can we do about it? 
 
    
  
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic? And, how do we tackle a deep-rooted market logic that shifts public debate towards private interest and marginalizes progressive perspectives? The book explores how these elements can be reimagined through newly conceived media and tech landscapes and, ultimately, what democracy might be in a future mediated world that places more power in the hands of more people.

Moreover, in a world where the line between private censorship and public responsibility is increasingly blurred, "Walls of Words" challenges readers to reflect on the ethical implications of speech boundaries. How do we balance tolerance with limitation? What role do private entities play in shaping the discourse? And as technology continues to transform the landscape of expression, what challenges lie ahead for the future of free speech?

Crossing the Line - Finding...

Sarah Towle

It was family separation and “kids in cages” that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system—and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee—she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah’s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by “broken” layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone—save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. 
Deftly weaving together oral storytelling, history, and memoir, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove, every day, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called “crisis” in human migration, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current course—one which history will not soon forgive, or forget.

Kings Queens and Pawns: An...

Mary Roberts Rinehart

A personal account of the American author's visit to Europe in January 1915 while a war correspondent in Belgium for The Saturday Evening Post.  She writes:  "War is not two great armies meeting in a clash and frenzy of battle. It is much more than that. War is a boy carried on a stretcher, looking up at God's blue sky with bewildered eyes that are soon to close; war is a woman carrying a child that has been wounded by a shell; war is spirited horses tied in burning buildings and waiting for death; war is the flower of a race, torn, battered, hungry, bleeding, up to its knees in icy water; war is an old woman burning a candle before the Mater Dolorosa for the son she has given. For King and Country!"  (Summary by MaryAnn and M.R.R.)
