Human Rights, Robot Wrongs

'Eye-opening' New Statesman 'Utterly brilliant' Helena Kennedy 'Thought-provoking, challenging and very humane' Michael Wooldridge No longer an uncertain technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence is starting to shape every aspect of our daily lives, from how we think to who we love. In this urgent polemic, leading barrister Susie Alegre explores the ways in which artificial intelligence threatens our fundamental human rights - including the rights to life, liberty and fair trial; the right to private and family life; and the right to free expression - and how we protect those rights. Touching on the many profound ethical dilemmas posed by emerging technologies, and full of fascinating case studies, Human Rights, Robot Wrongs is a rallying cry for humanity in the age of AI.

She is currently a Member of the Commission for Control of Interpol's Files and is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI).
