Culpability (Oprah’s Book Club): A Novel

A tale that explores AI which in highly readable, whodunit style. Great character development and a plot that is difficult to predict. The best part, though, is the manner in which the author makes ethical distinctions and prioritizations more compelling by embodying them in the emotions of a fatal car crash and the familiar tensions of family dynamics

Culpability was a great read. I found it stimulated me to think about AI and our future, the roles it may play, where it may be super useful, where it could be detrimental. The author also stimulates us in how we react, and or others, family members to a situation, and the complexity of life. Often I believe we are trying so hard to have life easy, simple... Life is complex.

Lackluster writing and somewhat dishonest about the trajectory and success of Artificial Intelligence

What a great book on the growing impact to AI in our lives and the moral question behind AI

This may not be the 1st book written about the moral and ethical consequences of AI, but it is the 1st one I have read. This is a realistic family drama about what happens when a fatal car crash involving AI technology is used. The Shaw family are in the autonomous minivan-17-year-old Charlie is driving with his dad sitting shotgun, sisters in the back and mom, Lorelei a leader in AI technology is absorbed in her own work in the car when the tragic accident occurs. As the story unfolds, each family member has their own secrets and is therefore culpable. The story explores guilt and grief but also raises the deeper question of responsibility and the ethics of AI in a world dominated by machines and technology.
I really liked this book. I never really liked Lorelie, the mom, for reasons I won't go into because I don't want to spoil anything for a reader. I liked Noah, the dad. This is a very popular book right now and was a good book for discussion.
