AI & Justice: Algorithms, Surveillance, and the Future of Your Rights (AI Stories)
Imagine a judge sentencing you based partly on a score calculated by software no one fully understands. Imagine a camera flagging you as a suspect before you've done anything wrong. This isn't science fiction — it's happening right now, in courtrooms and streets around the world.
AI & Justice pulls back the curtain on the algorithms quietly reshaping the legal system. Written for curious, non-technical readers, this book takes you inside the machines that predict crime, identify faces, and generate risk scores — and asks the questions those systems can't answer: Who is held accountable when the algorithm is wrong? What happens to the people it gets wrong most often?
Each chapter pairs a vivid, real-world narrative with a clear-eyed technical explainer, so you'll not only understand what these systems do — you'll understand how and why they fail the people they were built to judge.
- Predictive policing — how risk scores influence arrests before any crime occurs
- Facial recognition — why the technology misidentifies certain faces far more than others
- Data trails — the digital footprints courts and corporations use to build cases against you
- The right to explanation — whether you can ever challenge a decision made by a machine
From wrongful arrests driven by flawed facial recognition to sentencing algorithms that embed historical bias into future verdicts, AI & Justice shows that the stakes of artificial intelligence are not abstract — they are deeply, urgently human.
