ABOUT THE BOOK

Is more data always better?
Do algorithms really make better decisions than humans?
Can we stay in control in an increasingly automated
world?

From dating apps and self-driving cars to facial
recognition and the justice system, the increasing
presence of AI has been widely championed - but there
are limitations and risks too. Humans are the greatest
source of uncertainty in these situations and Gigerenzer
shows how, when people are involved, trust in complex
algorithms can lead to illusions of certainty that become a
recipe for disaster.

Filled with practical examples and cutting-edge
research, How to Stay Smart in a Smart World examines
the growing role of AI at all levels of daily life with
refreshing clarity. This book is a life-raft in a sea of
information and an urgent invitation to actively shape the
digital world in which we want to live.
