AI isn’t neutral; it’s a mirror—reflecting the values, blind spots, and power structures of those who build it. In A Human Algorithm, human-rights lawyer Flynn Coleman argues for anchoring AI in universal rights, not convenience or profit.

Drawing on courtrooms, refugee camps, and design labs, she unpacks bias in sentencing software, predictive policing, workplace automation, and data‑hungry platforms. Coleman translates abstractions—surveillance, algorithmic harm, accountability—into plain language, then sketches pragmatic safeguards.

Her bigger question runs beneath the code: what do we refuse to outsource—empathy, creativity, dignity? As algorithms increasingly govern jobs, justice, and citizenship, this book equips citizens, builders, and policymakers to demand technology that expands human freedom rather than compressing it.
