AI Needs You: How We Can Change AI’s Future and Save Our Own by Verity Harding

“AI Needs You” by Verity Harding is a powerful call for public involvement in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Harding argues that AI is not inevitable or neutral—it reflects human choices. Drawing lessons from history, she emphasizes the need for democratic oversight, ethical regulation, and global cooperation. The book urges citizens, not just tech companies or governments, to help steer AI toward fairness, safety, and justice.
