Product details

"The Alignment Problem" by Brian Christian is an insightful non-fiction book that addresses the challenges and ethical questions in the field of machine learning. In an era where algorithms increasingly make decisions that affect our lives, Christian sheds light on the so-called "Alignment Problem." This issue describes the discrepancy between the goals we set for machine learning and the actual outcomes these systems produce. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the risks associated with automation and the use of algorithms, illustrating how these technologies are applied in various fields, from justice to healthcare. Through a combination of historical contexts and current case studies, Christian provides a deep understanding of the challenges that must be addressed to ensure that machine learning aligns with human values. It is an essential work for anyone interested in the future of technology and its impact on society.
