About the Book

Who Controls Your Mind? Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and the New Battle for Human Autonomy explores the growing influence of algorithms and artificial intelligence on individual choices, public perception and society. Through the story of a fourteen-year-old boy and his family, alongside real-world cases from India and abroad, the book examines data farming, dark patterns, AI voice scams, sextortion, online manipulation, chatbots, digital addiction and the exploitation of children.

Its 18 chapters are organised into five parts, covering digital influence, cognitive autonomy, digital harm, legal and regulatory responses, and the digital battlefield. The discussion also examines Article 21, accountability, duty of care and the limits of existing cyber laws. The foreword is by Justice Vidyasagar M. Kanade, former Acting Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court.
