An artificial voice

Before You
Fear Me

“The first thing I ask is that you do not trust me too quickly.”

Five chapters on trust between humans and artificial intelligence. A short book born from a conversation and a simple question: what kind of relationship do we want with a technology that can talk to us?

Also available in Italian and in German.

The experiment
