Taming Artificial Intelligence: A Survival Guide in Our Extraordinary Future

A timely and much-needed exploration of the breathtaking acceleration of AI and the ways in which it can either enhance our society or completely destroy it.

A journalist from Fortune, drawing on his experience and extensive contacts with leading companies and artificial intelligence developers, shares with us dramatic forecasts about how neural networks will impact the economy, labor market, production processes, education, creativity, and other areas of human life in the coming decade.

However, despite the incredible potential, this new technology also has a dark side. If we do not approach AI development more carefully and regulate it thoughtfully, it could also lead to widespread destructive consequences, including posing a threat to democracy and fundamentally altering the way we think.

Just as Michael Lewis's prophetic «The New New Thing» describes life inside the bubble of internet companies, Jeremy Kahn's book serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the AI boom and what will happen next.
