Book Synopsis
AI is on the brink of dominating our lives, threating our privacy and human futureif we don't take action now.

In The Algorithm, Emmyaward winning Wall Street Journal and Guardian contributor Hilke Schellmann delivers a shocking and illuminating expose on one of the most pressing civil rights issues of our time: how AI has quietly, and mostly out of sight, taken over the world of work.

Schellmann takes readers on a journalistic detective story, meeting job applicants and employees who have been subjected to these technologies, playing AI-based video games that companies use for hiring, and investigating algorithms that scan our online activity to construct personality profiles including if we are prone to self -harm. She convinces whistleblowers to share results of faulty AI -tools, and tests algorithms that analyze job candidates' facial expressions and tools that predict from our voices if we are anxious or depressed.
