- More about Algorithmic Intimacy - The Digital Revolution in Personal Relationships
Artificial intelligence is becoming deeply lodged inside us, shaping our personal behavior and relationships. Anthony Elliott's book "Algorithmic Intimacy" examines how machine intelligence is working within us, amplifying our desires and steering our preferences. He argues that intimate relationships today are threatened by the orientation of various life strategies unthinkingly aligned with automated machine intelligence and suggests we need alternatives, innovation, and experimentation for the interpersonal, intimate effort of ongoing translation between human and machine intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is not only prevalent in our cars, hospitals, and courtrooms, but it is also deeply ingrained within us. Machine intelligence is adept at learning our private preferences and subtly influencing our personal behavior, guiding us on how to live, whom to befriend, and whom to date.
In his book "Algorithmic Intimacy," Anthony Elliott delves into the profound impact of predictive algorithms on shaping personal relationships in the modern world. Elliott explores how machine intelligence is operating within us, amplifying our desires and influencing our personal preferences. He argues that the threat to intimate relationships today lies not in the digital revolution itself, but rather in the unconscious alignment of various life strategies with automated machine intelligence. Our reliance on algorithmic recommendations reflects a growing urgency for personal agency and the preservation of human bonds.
To address this issue, Elliott calls for alternatives, innovation, and experimentation to facilitate the ongoing translation between the discourses of human and machine intelligence. This book is accessible and engaging, appealing to students in the social sciences and humanities as well as a broad audience interested in understanding the implications of artificial intelligence on the most intimate aspects of our lives.
