Artificial Intelligence and You: What AI Means for Your Life, Your Work, and Your World (Human Cusp) (Unabridged‪)‬

What is AI?
Why will it affect you?
How do you survive and thrive through the AI revolution?


Sensationalism about AI has reached new heights, and getting a useful understanding of it has never been more important. AI will extend and accelerate thinking, delivering unprecedented abundance. But it will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from today’s issues of bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines. This book is the roadmap to that path. In clear, accessible, and engaging language, Scott explains AI for listeners from all walks of life who are looking for the full picture of how AI is transforming the world.
