“An Economist Biggest Book of the Year”
A humanist manifesto for the age of AI
Artificial intelligence may be the most transformative technology of our time. As AI’s power grows, so does the need to figure out what—and who—this technology is really for. AI Needs You argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in answering this urgent question and ensuring that AI fulfills its promise.
Verity Harding draws inspiring lessons from the histories of three twentieth-century tech revolutions—the space race, in vitro fertilization, and the internet—to empower each of us to join the conversation about AI and its possible futures. Sharing her perspective as a leading insider in technology and politics, she rejects the dominant narrative, which often likens AI’s advent to that of the atomic bomb. History points the way to an achievable future in which democratically determined values guide AI to be peaceful in its intent; to embrace limitations; to serve purpose, not profit; and to be firmly rooted in societal trust.
AI Needs You gives us hope that we, the people, can imbue AI with a deep intentionality that reflects our best values, ideals, and interests, and that serves the public good. AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways, but it is clear that the shape of AI’s future—and of our own—cannot be left only to those building it. It is up to us to guide this technology away from our worst fears and toward a future that we can trust and believe in.
इस कहानी संग्रह की 26 कहानियाँ भावों, दृश्यों और जीवन स्थितियों का एक सुंदर कोलाज बनाती हैं, जिसके इंद्रधनुषी रंग मन ही नहीं, आत्मा तक को छूने, भिगोने, अभिभूत करने और झकझोरने का काम करते हैं। इन कहानियों के पाठ का प्रभाव भी अपने-आप में अनूठा ही होता है। जहाँ “नवरात्र पूजा” संबंधों की मनोवैज्ञानिक गुत्थियों से मिलवाती है तो “एकदा एक्स” प्रेम के आयाम को बड़ा करने की कुंजी पेश करती है, वहीं “दो चाँद और तीन कहानियाँ” में कथाकार युवा मन की दुर्लभ थाह लेते हुए पाठक को अपने साथ गहराई तक ले जाता है।संजीदा पाठकों को दुष्यन्त के उजले-स्याह किरदारों और उनके बहुरंगी कारनामों में मानव सभ्यता के भविष्य की आहटें भी मिलती हैं। यही विविधता समकालीन भारतीय लेखकों में उनको विशिष्ट पहचान देती है।
A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the relationship between capitalism and freedom.
Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society – and is therefore morally better.
But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s? Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do?
Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from ‘free’ – unregulated – markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few – both individuals and countries. He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media.
Stiglitz’s eye, as always, is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an alternative to that prevailing today. The Road to Freedom offers a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes a good society—and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.

Despite the clear danger of the rise of totalitarianism in India today, this book’s aim is to look forward to the moment when democracy will be renewed in the country and ask what lessons can be learnt from past experience to anchor it more firmly when the opportunity arises. It is generally assumed that Indian democracy has had an unbroken run since Independence, with the brief disruption of the 1975–77 Emergency. While those two years saw a stark assault on democratic institutions, Indian democracy had been repeatedly punctured prior to the Emergency, and it has been threatened many times since. The country underwent almost four decades of democracy decay after the founding years of the republic, as compared to the three relatively short-lived waves of democracy renewal. That fact makes an examination of these three waves rather significant.
