But this ideology is fading. In the age of big data, we can crunch an incomprehensible amount of information, providing us with invaluable insights about the what rather than the why.We're just starting to reap the benefits: tracking vital signs to foresee deadly infections, predicting building fires, anticipating the best moment to buy a plane ticket, seeing inflation in real time and monitoring social media in order to identify trends. But there is a dark side to big data. Will it be machines, rather than people, that make the decisions? How do you regulate an algorithm? What will happen to privacy? Will individuals be punished for acts they have yet to commit? In this groundbreaking and fascinating book, two of the world's most-respected data experts reveal the reality of a big data world and outline clear and actionable steps that will equip the reader with the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution.

Wird der Mensch durch künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik überflüssig? Cukier, Mayer-Schönberger und de Véricourt belegen, warum diese Sorge unbegründet ist. Der menschliche Geist besitzt die einzigartige Fähigkeit, über Framing eigene Deutungsmuster zu erstellen, etwa um Informationen einzuordnen, Vorhersagen über die Zukunft zu treffen und auf ganz neue Lösungswege zu stoßen. Die Autoren beschreiben, wie Framing funktioniert, warum der Ratschlag, »out of the box« zu denken, nutzlos ist und wieso Spotify und nicht Apple das Musikerlebnis revolutioniert hat. Und warum es ein Framing-Desaster war, COVID-19 mit der saisonalen Grippe gleichzusetzen. Framers zeigt uns nicht nur, wie wir im Zeitalter der Algorithmen bessere Entscheidungen fällen können, sondern auch, wie Framing das menschliche Überleben im Zeitalter der Maschinen und Unruhen sichert.

From pandemics to populism, AI to ISIS, wealth inequity to climate change, humanity faces unprecedented challenges that threaten our very existence. The essential tool that will enable humanity to find the best way foward is defined in Framers by internationally renowned authors Kenneth Cukier, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, and Francis de Véricourt. To frame is to make a mental model that enables us to make sense of new situations. Frames guide the decisions we make and the results we attain. People have long focused on traits like memory and reasoning, leaving framing all but ignored. But with computers becoming better at some of those cognitive tasks, framing stands out as a critical function-and only humans can do it. This book is the first guide to mastering this human ability.
