SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2024

What does it mean to be human in a world that is rapidly changing with the development of artificial intelligence?

'Highly readable and deeply important' –
The Guardian

'Exposes the hidden consequences of our existing AI technologies' –
The Times

Through the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society. Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor at the FT, exposes how AI can strip away our collective and individual sense of agency – and shatter our illusion of free will.

AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small. In this compelling work, Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity.

'The intimate investigation of AI that we’ve been waiting for, and it arrives not a moment too soon.' – Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

A nuanced, thoughtful and very accessible picture of a world deeply affected by AI' – Martha Lane Fox

Really insightful!

I really enjoyed this book. As someone’s who lives in the UK, I loved how this gave me an insight into the impacts of AI on a global scale.
I do worry that AI is being introduced into society and the majority of people will passively accept it. This book really made me take a step back and question my own feelings about AI, having learnt so much about the ethical and moral implications it brings with it. A great read and will be recommending it to everyone I know!

A global diverse investigation into AI

The author chose to tell the story of AI’s recent advancements through individual human stories that are non west centric, allowing the reader to have an entry point into this complex new technology and how it will grow in all our lives
