With a structured lens that moves from data to governance, Brunet articulates the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and inclusive design in a world increasingly shaped by algorithmic decisions.

About the book
In an era where artificial intelligence shapes our justice systems,
workplaces, and cities, Aligned Intelligence confronts a pressing
question: can we ensure AI reflects the moral clarity humanity
strives for?
This thought-provoking book delves into the heart of
AI’s amoral nature, exploring how its data and design amplify
human biases, from flawed financial algorithms to biased urban
planning.
Through vivid case studies and cross-cultural insights
—from Kant’s universal duties to Ubuntu’s communal bonds—it
unravels the ethical challenges of governing tools without
conscience.
With a serious yet engaging tone, Aligned Intelligence
examines the strengths and limits of ethical frameworks like the
EU’s AI guidelines, offering a roadmap for 2040. Each chapter
ends with a bold question, inviting readers—technologists,
policymakers, and citizens—to debate AI’s future. Will static
codes suffice, or must we forge adaptive governance to align AI
with fairness and respect?
This book is a call to action, urging us
to shape an AI legacy that mirrors our highest values.
