'Artificial intelligence, and the powerful corporations behind it, are reshaping humanity’s future at breakneck speed, without public oversight or consent. In this bold and urgent book, Zimmermann asks the defining question of our time: how do we reclaim democratic control?'Helene Landemore, Yale University'Timely and compelling, Zimmermann's book makes a powerful case for the importance of giving citizens a say in decisions about AI deployment. The argument is provocative and rigorous, illuminating the challenges that the rise of AI presents and charting a path toward addressing them.'Professor Brian Berkey, University of Pennsylvania
