Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine
Hello World: How to Be Human in the Age of the Machine is a book on the growing influence of algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) on human life, authored by mathematician and science communicator Hannah Fry. The book examines how algorithms are increasingly shaping decisions in critical areas such as healthcare, transportation, justice, finance, and the arts. OverviewFry uses real-world examples, such as driverless cars and predictive policing, to illustrate her points. She emphasizes that algorithms are not inherently objective; they reflect biases embedded in their design and data inputs. While acknowledging their potential to improve efficiency and accuracy, Fry cautions against over-reliance on machines without human judgment.[1] Fry explores moral questions surrounding algorithmic decision-making, such as whether machines can replace human empathy in critical situations.[2] She advocates for greater scrutiny of algorithms to ensure fairness and avoid harmful biases. The book proposes a "cyborg future", where humans work alongside algorithms to enhance decision-making while retaining ultimate control.[3] ReceptionHello World has been praised for its clarity, engaging storytelling, and balanced perspective. Critics have highlighted Fry's ability to make complex topics accessible to general audiences while raising important questions about technology's impact on society.[3] The book was shortlisted for awards such as the 2018 Baillie Gifford Prize and the Royal Society Science Book Prize.[4][5] References
