Innovation has a dark side. The price of progress is that humans are becoming increasingly predictable, programmable, and machine-like.

Focusing on the pressing issues surrounding expertise, this work delves into the phenomenology, interactional aspects, and ethical implications of expertise in contemporary contexts. It critically examines expert authority and competence while addressing technological concerns, including artificial intelligence, sustainability ethics, and the debates surrounding genetically modified foods and behavior-modifying "nudges." By exploring these fundamental concepts, the book aims to enhance the philosophical discourse on expertise and its role in society.
