Марк Уве-Клинг, «Страна качества». Уве-Клинг в первую очередь стендап-комик и автор комедийных скетчей, что сильно повлияло на книгу. Лично мне не хватило какой-то сюжетной целостности: весь текст это как бы склейка отдельных сценок в общем мире с общими героями. Персонажи, кстати, очень архетипичны, а главный герой, наоборот, сравнительно безликий наблюдатель. Я бы даже сказал, что главный герой тут — вы, тот, кто читает произведение. Тем не менее, в едкости и интересных идеях автору не занимать. «Страна качества» это сатирическая антиутопия об обществе потребления, причем, совсем не такая, как, например, «О дивный новый мир». Если у Хаксли за основу взяты глубинные соблазны людей, и на их основе смоделировано общество, то Уве-Клинг просто взял текущие реальные тренды и выкрутил в них все ручки на максимум. Не столь далёкое будущее, центром действия становится государство под названием Qualityland. Всех людей тут зовут именем + профессией родителя того же пола в момент зачатия. Например, главный герой Петер Безработный, хотя у него самого есть работа, но у его отца в момент его зачатия не было. Есть ещё, допустим, Мартин Управляющий, Конрад Повар, Мелисса Проститутка и другие. Конечно же, не обошлось без упоминания человека с именем Ганнибал Лектор. Вообще, у автора прекрасное чувство юмора с кучей пасхалок и отсылок. В Qualityland гипертрофированное до абсурда общество потребления, а люди в основном тупы, инертны и ленивы. В большинстве модальных окон в интерфейсах есть только кнопка ОК, даже если там задан вопрос, подразумевающий возможность отказа («Хотите посмотреть рекламу?»). Ещё в этом мире было посчитано, что уникальный рисунок губ более точен, чем отпечатки пальцев, поэтому люди оплачивают покупки, целуя экран своего гаджета — очень символично. Что касается товаров, то их доставляют дроны из магазина, даже если ты сам ничего не заказывал, потому что умные алгоритмы автоматически вычисляют, что именно тебе нужно, списывают с твоего счёта деньги за это и оформляют покупку без твоего участия. Это кажется диким, если не вспоминать, что у нас в нашей объективной реальности примерно такие же взаимоотношения с информацией: соцсети и алгоритмы корпораций решают за нас, какую информацию мы хотим потреблять, и доставляют её к нам. Вообще, читая эту книгу, я сначала пребывал в слезах от абсурдности и нереалистичности происходящего, а потом пребывал в слезах от осознания того, насколько близка наша реальная жизнь к чему-то подобному. Хоть центральный сюжет, на мой взгляд, вышел у автора беззубым и скомканным, острые и едкие детали в отдельных сценах и в описании мира можно пересказывать часами. Сквозь сатиру и гротеск иногда проглядывают любопытные размышления автора о неизбежном вреде человечеству от ИИ, исторические вставки с реальными фактами и вполне правдоподобные объяснения некоторых экономических эффектов. В общем, скорее рекомендую, чем не, но читать нужно с осторожностью, заранее воспринимая роман не совсем как обычное художественное произведение. Уже есть вторая книга, начну её сегодня. #fiction

🇬🇧AI Manipulation Meets Consumer Protection A new case from the UK shows how AI tools are already being weaponized in everyday disputes. An Airbnb host reportedly used AI to generate an image of a broken coffee table and demanded £12,000 in damages from a guest. Airbnb’s internal systems failed to flag the manipulation, and the guest had to involve the media to prove her innocence. This incident illustrates a regulatory blind spot: consumer platforms still lack robust mechanisms to detect AI-based fraud. By 2025, platforms of Airbnb’s scale should already integrate early-warning AI detection systems and guarantee direct human review when manipulation is suspected. Without this, users remain vulnerable to AI-enabled scams with little recourse. #AIethics#ConsumerProtection

US: FTC's New Rule Targets Fake Reviews and Testimonials The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has introduced a significant new rule to combat the rise of fake consumer reviews and deceptive testimonials. As businesses increasingly rely on online reviews to influence consumer behavior, the FTC’s regulation marks a crucial step in ensuring that these reviews are authentic and transparent. The rule, which is part of the FTC's broader strategy to protect consumers and promote fair competition, enables courts to impose civil penalties on violators and allows the FTC to seek compensation for those affected by deceptive practices. Key provisions of the rule prohibit the creation, sale, or purchase of fake consumer reviews and testimonials. This includes AI-generated reviews, which the FTC explicitly addressed, signaling its commitment to preventing the use of artificial intelligence in misleading ways. Marketers and businesses must now ensure that all reviews are genuine, accurately reflect consumers' experiences, and that any insider connections are fully disclosed. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in significant legal and financial consequences, as the FTC continues to prioritize consumer protection in the digital marketplace. #AI#FTC#ConsumerProtection

FTC Takes Action Against DoNotPay Over Misleading AI Lawyer Claims The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has initiated action against DoNotPay, which claimed to offer "the world’s first robot lawyer." Despite bold promises to revolutionize legal services, DoNotPay failed to match the expertise of human lawyers. The FTC alleges that the company’s AI service could not generate valid legal documents or substitute for professional legal counsel, as claimed. The proposed settlement requires DoNotPay to pay $193,000 and prohibits misleading claims about AI capabilities without supporting evidence. This case serves as a reminder that AI-based services must be held to the same rigorous standards as professional industries. #AIRegulation#LegalTech#AIEthics#FTCRuling#ConsumerProtection

US FTC Hosts Inaugural AI Policy Summit Greetings everyone! The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) held its first public summit on AI policy on January 25, 2024, focusing on antitrust and consumer protection challenges posed by AI technology's rapid evolution. The event convened experts from academia, industry, and government to discuss competition and consumer protection considerations in AI. FTC leaders expressed concerns about anticompetitive practices and consumer protection risks stemming from the adoption of large language models and generative AI. The agency is exploring enhanced enforcement in the AI sector while developing its liability regime. FTC Chair Lina Khan highlighted worries about incumbent tech companies consolidating control of the AI sector through vertical integration, leveraging their influence over training data and infrastructure. The FTC also signaled intentions to address consumer protection issues related to harmful AI applications and privacy violations in training data collection. The FTC announced a Section 6(b) inquiry into recent AI investments and partnerships between developers and cloud service providers to study their competitive impact. The summit reflects the FTC's commitment to understanding and regulating AI's impact on competition and consumer welfare. #FTC#AIPolicySummit#Antitrust#ConsumerProtection
