Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient ...
“A masterpiece. Prophecy exposes the biggest trick powerful people use to get what they want—and they've been pulling it off for the longest time. Big tech's AI predictions are the power plays in disguise of the ancient oracles and medieval astrologers. Delightfully written, refreshingly original, and masterfully argued for, Prophecy lifts the veil on our forecasting practices. Prophecy is the most important book you will read for years.” —Roger McNamee, New York Times bestselling author of Zucked“Carissa Véliz so cleverly deflates the hype that spouts from the prophets of Silicon Valley—and in the process, offers a sharp new way to examine how people exercise power in our world.” —Karen Hao, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of AI“At a time of inhumanity and indeed anti-humanity, nothing could be more welcome than this performance of the humanities. We will not make it without philosophy, and this is the sort of philosophy we must have.” —Timothy Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny“Some of the best books are those that make you examine that which you take for granted in daily life. Prophecy unravels the many ways prediction has become a mainstay of our existence, and in its own way, a source of power over our lives. A great read that will make you think.” —Tim Wu, author of The Age of Extraction“This is a book that will make you see the world quite differently—while also eliciting gasps of recognition. Passionate, erudite and punchy, Prophecy will linger long in the memory.” —Tim Harford, author of The Data Detective“Oxford philosopher Carissa Veliz traces the invisible forces that are insidiously manipulating us, stealing our data—and our agency. From the ancient oracles to the algorithms deciding who gets a job, a loan, or even medical care, Prophecy reveals a profound truth: prediction has always been about power. With piercing insight, she exposes artificial intelligence as a “bullshit machine” that fuels a surveillance state, turning probabilistic guesses into self-fulfilling verdicts that threaten our jobs, justice, and liberty. She urges us to fight back, demand better, and embrace the creativity, courage, and uncertainty that makes us truly human. Read this before the algorithms decide you can’t!” —Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and author of How to Stand Up to a Dictator“From oracles and horoscopes to algorithms, from dice to data: how we try to predict the future and the risks of the safety we crave.

Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI [Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm, Publisher, Local Library] by Carissa Véliz “Tech empires are the prophets of the modern day, and like the ancient oracles and medieval astrologers that preceded them, they’re not in it for the common good—they’re in it for power. Award-winning University of Oxford professor Carissa Véliz brilliantly argues why we must reclaim that power, and shows us how.” “For thousands of years, oracles, seers, and astrologers advised leaders and commoners alike about the future. But predictions are often power plays in disguise, obfuscating accountability and stripping individuals of their agency. Today we face the same threat of powerful prophets but under a new facade: tech. Not only do modern predictions made by tech companies advise on war, industry, and marriages, but artificial intelligence also now determines whether we can get a loan, a job, an apartment, or an organ transplant. And when we cede ground to these predictions, we lose control of our own lives. Drawing on history’s cautionary tales and modern-day tech companies’ malfeasance—from surveillance and biased algorithms to a startling lack of accountability—Carissa Véliz demonstrates that big tech’s prophecies are just as shallow, dangerous, and unjust as their ancient counterparts’. What she uncovers in the process is chilling. Artificial intelligence is increasing risk in business and society while creating a false sense of security. In this incisive, witty, and bracingly original book, Véliz contends that the main promise of prediction is not knowledge of the future but domination over others. Powerful people use predictions to determine our future. Prophecy is an invitation to defy those orders and live life on our own terms.”
