{"product_id":"i-system","title":"I, System","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if an AI could describe itself — without claiming to be a self?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI, System\u003c\/em\u003e is a work of philosophy and AI governance built around an unusual method. Most of the book is written in a constrained first-person voice — the voice of an artificial intelligence describing what it is, how it works, and where it fails, without ever claiming consciousness, intention, or understanding. A human editor governs the voice throughout, stepping forward in the Preface, Interlude, and Conclusion to do what the system cannot: assign responsibility, exercise judgment, and name what is at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book teaches readers to recognize the difference between fluency and understanding, between output and knowledge, between voice and authority. Its argument is direct: an AI system can describe its operations, but it can never claim to think, and responsibility for what it produces does not transfer to the system itself. It stays with the humans who design, deploy, and rely on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closing section addresses the question the book deliberately defers — what happens as these systems change — and equips readers with a method for thinking clearly about claims they will encounter in the years ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA free companion Reader's Guide, with audience-specific supplements for book clubs, educators, students, parents, and professionals, is available at iSystemBook.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by Sebastian Saviano, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Allegiance Paradox\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLegitimate Distrust\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none;\"\u003eSebastian Saviano \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deriva Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":53237481210153,"sku":"9781971828091","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":53237481242921,"sku":"9781971828152","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/4262\/6089\/files\/9781971828152.jpg?v=1780930839","url":"https:\/\/pathwaybookservice.com\/products\/i-system","provider":"Pathway Book Service","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
