"Readers will come away with a good understanding of the
technological fundamentals of AI and the debates concerning the
likely impact of a maturing set of narrow AI technologies."--Joshua
Kim, Inside Higher Ed

Why

stands today, how it may evolve, and the risks it poses to human
society."--Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science at the
University of California, Berkeley and co-author of Artificial
Intelligence: A Modern Approach
"Probably the most compelling single-volume book so far on AI's
advance and the opportunities and challenges associated with its
multi-faceted impact on the world. Those in AI and those outside it

highly recommend it." --James Manyika, Chairman and Director of the
McKinsey Global Institute

implications of artificial intelligence." --Tyler Cowen, Professor
of Economics at George Mason University

continues his tradition of clear insights and observations about
this important topic in a well-researched page-turner. A delightful
book!" --Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital
