{"product_id":"political-automation-eduardo-albrecht-9780197696958","title":"Political Automation: An Introduction to AI in Government and Its Impact on Citizens","description":"Governments now routinely use AI-based software to gather information about citizens and determine the level of privacy a person can enjoy, how far they can travel, what public benefits they may receive, and what they can and cannot say publicly. What input do citizens have in how these machines think? In \u003cem\u003ePolitical Automation\u003c\/em\u003e, Eduardo Albrecht explores this question in various domains, including policing, national security, and international peacekeeping. Drawing upon interviews with rights activists, Albrecht examines popular attempts to interact with this novel form of algorithmic governance so far. He then proposes the idea of a Third House, a virtual chamber that legislates exclusively on AI in government decision-making and is based on principles of direct democracy, unlike existing upper and lower houses that are representative. An in-depth look at how political automation impacts the lives of citizens, this book addresses the challenges at the heart of automation in public policy decision-making and offers a way forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduardo Albrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197696953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197696958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.91w x 0.82d","brand":"Eduardo Albrecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640726180095,"sku":"9780197696958","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69e4f0d2-b5f0-46bc-933d-bf3946c8a4b9.jpg?v=1740670374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-automation-eduardo-albrecht-9780197696958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
