Transferring Human Vulnerabilities to Artificial Intelligence

I have written a series of articles about the future of information, truth and influence. These articles explore the human vulnerabilities that are exploited in social media, and in combination with other traditional forms of media. I also explore the concept of social engineering and information operations where professional marketers, military and political strategist use the way our brain works to influence us. In this article we explore how our brains and their instinctual and learned biases can cause us problems when combined with artificial intelligence and automation. In the revealing new book, The Loop, by NBC News technology correspondent, Jacob Ward, he shares how we can cause ourselves harm by letting our unconscious, evolutionary instincts and biases shape our automated future.
