AI, Tell Me Your Protocol: The Intersection of Technology and Humanity in the Era of Big Data.
This second edition of AI, Tell Me Your Protocol: The Intersection of Technology and Humanity in the Era of Big Data offers a substantially revised and expanded analysis of the social, economic, and institutional implications of artificial intelligence in the era of big data. Originally published in May 2023, this updated edition incorporates bibliographic references, empirical data, and policy developments from 2023 to 2025, including advances in generative AI, the European AI Act, and global labor market transformations.
The book critically examines both symbolic and sub-symbolic AI models and explores their applications in key sectors such as healthcare, transportation, finance, and public administration. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it addresses core challenges including algorithmic bias, opacity, ethical governance, and skill disruption. A newly added Chapter 5 focuses on the urgent need for human-centered governance frameworks to regulate AI deployment in socially consequential contexts.
Rather than approaching AI as a purely technological development, this study emphasizes its political, ethical, and institutional dimensions. It calls for inclusive strategies of transition that promote democratic oversight, social cohesion, and labor dignity in the face of accelerated automation. Combining conceptual analysis, policy reflection, and case-based research, the book is intended for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in shaping the future of work and digital ethics.
