‘Algorithms now shape the way we live, work and think. Sometimes they fail miserably, making us go out and rebel against them. Sometimes they help us.’ ow.ly/OQku50R3OCI
Here at @marekkowal book signing in Brisbane armed with my signed copy.

📖 @marekkowal has made a career of harnessing new technology. But on the question of if algorithms have agency, he realised he was wrong. The author of THE ECONOMY OF ALGORITHMS explains how non-human agents are shaping our society and economy. brnw.ch/21wI6DM
The Economy of Algorithms: Rise of Digital Minions buff.ly/4a1bf2r. via @marekkowal of QUT (Queensland University of Technology) on @thinkers360 #AI #DigitalDisruption #GenerativeAI
‘Kowalkiewicz does not fear technology will displace us. Instead, he argues, we live in the dawning “age of augmentation”.’ @marekkowal talks to the @GuardianAus about THE ECONOMY OF ALGORITHMS! ow.ly/Tgxb50QQKX0
Well this is exciting! @marekkowal’s fantastic new book The Economy of Algorithms is trending at #2 in Artificial Intelligence in the @amazon US bestseller list. Grab your copy here! bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-economy-of…
In today's @FinancialReview, find an excerpt from 'The Economy of Algorithms: Rise of the Digital Minions'. The first book from Prof. @marekkowal. A great primer on automation and these unsettling agents of change. #DigitalMinions #EconomyOfAlgorithms afr.com/technology/how…
Love @marekkowal ‘s take on algorithms - including, of course, smart contracts - as digital minions. If you’re building your #DAO contracts think of them as very helpful but in need of adult supervision 🤣 #sxsw
@marekkowal @karaswisher Just finished your book. Learnt a lot. Thanks!
Sandwiched between @karaswisher and @karaswisher on Amazon's bestseller list. I might be an optimist, but I never imagined my first book would end up in such a company. Wow. Wow. Wow.
The AI Institute launched the year's events with a stimulating discussion between Prof Toby Walsh and Prof Marek Kowalkiewicz this week. The audience's active participation through insightful questions kept the energy high throughout the event. #AI #Algorithms #techevent
@theAIdilemma @marekkowal @TobyWalsh Respected Prof @marekkowal, I'm gifting #TEOA after many of my friends found @mustafasuleyman's superlative #TheComingWave #TCW a wonderful read, yet tough to understand. I've nicknamed yours as "ஜனங்களின் #செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவு விரிவுரை" meaning "People's #AI Explainer" in Tamil.
Can an algorithm take your job? Why is it so hard to predict where technology will go next? @marekkowal, founding director of the QUT Research Centre for the Digital Economy, answers these questions and more in THE ECONOMY OF ALGORITHMS. Out now! ow.ly/M0Mb50QBwyJ
'The Economy of Algorithms: AI and the Rise of the Digital Minions' by @marekkowal is out today. Reminder that Prof. Marek Kowalkievicz will be at UNSW Sydney for a Q&A session with @TobyWalsh this Wednesday. See y'all there 👋 #UNSWAI #EconomyOfAlgorithms
In the first two decades of the 21st century, we saw the emergence of the economy of people, otherwise known as the #DigitalEconomy, enabled by the internet. Now we’re seeing a new economy take shape: #TheEconomyOfAlgorithms. Find out more @marekkowal: ow.ly/7FXh50QKIsp

Anyone old enough to remember how at first calculators were hyped as being conscious, intelligent AGI-like beings that would displace humanity? Oh wait, that never happened. People used to be more sensible.
This would be a good #ragebait visual for how #roboticists & #automation engineers can only do so much to idiotproof their systems from deliberate misuse... Or is the human always right? @MikellTaylor reddit.com/r/maybemaybema…
