Human Rights, Robot Wrongs

Disclaimer: Susie is a friend.

This book uniquely views AI through the lens of international human rights law, working through mostly consumer use cases of different AI technologies and detailing the human rights harms that come from them. This perspective is essential for anyone who is in the tech sphere or uses these technologies. The section of the book that resonated most to me was on care robots though - when a developer says that they developed a robotic dog because nursing homes can't clean up dog poop, Susie's response is perfect: "Why not just make a robot to clean up dog poop?"

Well paced with some critical insights and coverage of AI over the years. Good for a refresher and how it relates and references human rights law alongside the AI details.
