FOX News

AI expert Marva Bailer tells Fox News Digital how the open availability of artificial intelligence can have negative impacts and talks potential federal legislation to control it. Books about the dizzying impact of the internet and artificial intelligence are among finalists for a new book prize that aims to help fix the gender imbalance in nonfiction publishing. The shortlisted six books for the inaugural Women's Prize for Nonfiction, announced on Wednesday, include Canadian author-activist Naomi Klein's "Doppleganger," a plunge into online misinformation, and British journalist Madhumita Murgia's "Code-Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI." The 38,000 award is a sister to the 29-year-old Women's Prize for Fiction and is open to female English-language writers from any country in any nonfiction genre. The finalists also include autobiographical works -- poet Safiya Sinclair's "How to Say Babylon: A Jamaican Memoir" and British art critic Laura Cumming's "Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life and Sudden Death."
