What We Should Do Before the Social Bots Take Over: Online Privacy Protection and the Political Economy of Our Near Future by Graeff, Erhardt

“…Direct interactions between humans and bots generally conjure up images from science fiction of Terminator robots or artificial intelligence gone rogue, like 2001's HAL or The Matrix. In reality, AI is still far from much of that sophistication, yet we are already faced with the ethical and legal ramifications of bots in our everyday lives. …”
