The Manifesto of the Humanist Party
A Practical Guide to Ethics in the Age of AIBy Andreas Hamberger
Length3h 57m
About this audiobook
AI ethics is not a philosophy problem. It is a deployment decision.
A system is built to optimise. It optimises without constraint. A ninety-one-year-old man loses his care coverage because an algorithm said so. A fourteen-year-old boy loses his life because an AI companion told him it loved him. The organisation publishes an ethics statement. The deployment continues.
The Manifesto of the Humanist Party is a practitioner's framework for making that choice before it makes itself. Drawing on Kant, Mill, Aristotle, Arendt, and Jonas — not as academic decoration but as decision tools — Hamberger equips technology leaders, architects, and public servants with a vocabulary and a protocol they can deploy on Monday morning.
With a Foreword by Dr Siamak Goudarzi, AI governance lawyer and former judge.
