Good, Bad, Artificial: Myths Surrounding AI and Real Examples of Its Use

From two authors among the hundred most influential people in the field of AI according to Times: everything you need to know about AI to protect yourself from its 'dark side'.

Are you unsure about artificial intelligence and concerned about how it will affect your future and the future of the world? You're not alone. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and little generates as much hype, misinformation, and misunderstanding today. In this book, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor debunk myths and give you a basic understanding of how AI works, why it often doesn't work, where it can be useful, where it can be harmful, and when to suspect that companies are using the hype around AI to sell 'hollow' products—products that don't work and probably never will. By demonstrating the real capabilities of AI and the risks associated with its use, the book 'Good, Bad, Artificial' will help you make more informed decisions about whether to use AI at work and at home, and how to do so wisely.
