Beyond the Algorithm : AI, Security, Privacy, and Ethics

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more and more woven into our everyday lives-and underpins so much of the infrastructure we rely on-the ethical, security, and privacy implications require a critical approach that draws not simply on the programming and algorithmic foundations of the technology. � Bringing together legal studies, philosophy, cybersecurity, and academic literature, Beyond the Algorithm examines these complex issues with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand analysis and overview. The book explores the ethical challenges that professionals-and, increasingly, users-are encountering as AI becomes not just a promise of the future, but a powerful tool of the present. � � An overview of the history and development of AI, from the earliest pioneers in machine learning to current applications and how it might shape the future � Introduction to AI models and implementations, as well as examples of emerging AI trends � Examination of vulnerabilities, including insight into potential real-world threats, and best practices for ensuring a safe AI deployment � Discussion of how to balance accountability, privacy, and ethics with regulatory and legislative concerns with advancing AI technology � A critical perspective on regulatory obligations, and repercussions, of AI with copyright protection, patent rights, and other intellectual property dilemmas � An academic resource and guide for the evolving technical and intellectual challenges of AI � Leading figures in the field bring to life the ethical issues associated with AI through in-depth analysis and case studies in this comprehensive examination.
