Self-learning machines called AIs are popping up all around us. They're real, and really important. They're affecting our lives - as workers, consumers, investors, citizens, patients and students. AIs bring huge promise, but also existential risk. The biggest risk isn't killer robots - it's the renegade leaders, despots, and unrestrained hackers everywhere we should worry about.
After decades of academic captivity, AIs have escaped their lab cages and are swarming out into the real world. With consequences for all of us. Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in many forms, sizes, and algorithms. Today, you’ll find AIs in factories, schools, hospitals, banks, police stations, and the chip in your iPhone. They’re the eyes of self-driving cars, the speech of Siri and Alexa, the brains of autonomous drone warfighters. They’re the wizards behind weather forecasts, the intelligence that guides robotic hands assisting in colon surgery.1 AIs handle real-time scheduling for the multibillion-dollar vacation rental market and do the matchmaking at Match.com. The hottest new online games have AI players always available as a clever opponent, 24/7. An AI has written a Grimm’s-style fairy tale, and the first AI-enabled toothbrushes clean teeth intelligently. The business plan for Elon Musk’s next company, after PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX et al., is to embed AI chips in humans. For medical purposes only - at least for now.
Charles Jennings' insightful new book, Artificial Intelligence: The Rise of the Lightspeed Learners presents sides of AI most people have never even considered before. That surprises are a main product of AIs. That AI cybersecurity is much more critical than traditional IT security. That, as Vladimir Putin put it, "the country that leads in AI will control the world." Jennings blends insights into Silicon Valley, Washington D.C., and Beijing with insider AI stories, irreverent humor and strong opinions. He explores the global AI ecosystem from Cambridge to Beijing; and provides a stark assessment of AI activity in China - where he lived for two years working with senior government officials. He claims that the U.S. and China are in an AI horserace that will be the most important technology contest ever, with the outcome still very much in doubt.
Consisting of stories, musings, interviews, and more, it provides a timely and accessible explanation of AI and its key issues to the general reading public.
