Reinserting Human Values into Technology

In their book 'System Error,' Stanford professors Rob Riesch, Meran Sahami, and Jeremy Weinstein discuss how we can bring human values back into smart devices and create a world where technology benefits everyone. They highlight the need to acknowledge that technology is not neutral, often encoding values that were not chosen by individuals. They emphasize the importance of auditing algorithms, ensuring transparency, and guaranteeing due process to challenge decisions. By doing so, we can prevent technology from exacerbating inequalities and working against societal interests.
