20 Best Books About Ai (2023 Update)

The hidden costs of artificial intelligence–from natural resources and labor to privacy, equality, and freedom "this study argues that [artificial intelligence] is neither artificial nor particularly intelligent. . . . a fascinating history of the data on which machine-learning systems are trained."–new yorker "a valuable corrective to much of the hype surrounding ai and a useful instruction manual for the future."–john thornhill, financial times "it's a masterpiece, and i haven't been able to stop thinking about it."–karen hao, senior editor, mit tech review what happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? how is ai shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning scholar kate crawford reveals how ai is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth, to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers, to the data taken from every action and expression. this book reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make ai and how it centralizes power. this is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

The new york times, usa today, and wall street journal bestsellerdr. kai-fu lee–one of the world's most respected experts on ai and china–reveals that china has suddenly caught up to the us at an astonishingly rapid and unexpected pace. in ai superpowers, kai-fu lee argues powerfully that because of these unprecedented developments in ai, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. indeed, as the us-sino ai competition begins to heat up, lee urges the us and china to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power. most experts already say that ai will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. but lee predicts that chinese and american ai will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. is universal basic income the solution? in lee's opinion, probably not.

Artificial intelligence (ai) is a field within computer science that is attempting to build enhanced intelligence into computer systems. this book traces the history of the subject, from the early dreams of eighteenth-century (and earlier) pioneers to the more successful work of today's ai engineers. ai is becoming more and more a part of everyone's life. the technology is already embedded in face-recognizing cameras, speech-recognition software, internet search engines, and health-care robots, among other applications. the book's many diagrams and easy-to-understand descriptions of ai programs will help the casual reader gain an understanding of how these and other ai systems actually work. its thorough (but unobtrusive) end-of-chapter notes containing citations to important source materials will be of great use to ai scholars and researchers. this book promises to be the definitive history of a field that has captivated the imaginations of scientists, philosophers, and writers for centuries.

Three of the world's most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore artificial intelligence (ai) and the way it is transforming human society–and what this technology means for us all. an ai learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. another ai discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. now, ai-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. ai is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality. the age of ai is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.

This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines. as real artificial intelligence (ai) begins to touch on all aspects of our lives, this long narrative history shapes how the technology is developed, deployed and regulated. it is therefore a crucial social and ethical issue. part i of this book provides a historical overview from ancient greece to the start of modernity. these chapters explore the revealing pre-history of key concerns of contemporary ai discourse, from the nature of mind and creativity to issues of power and rights, from the tension between fascination and ambivalence to investigations into artificial voices and technophobia. part ii focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first-centuries in which a greater density of narratives emerge alongside rapid developments in ai technology. through their close textual engagements, these chapters explore the relationship between imaginative narratives and contemporary debates about ai's social, ethical and philosophical consequences, including questions of dehumanization, automation, anthropomorphisation, cybernetics, cyberpunk, immortality, slavery, and governance. the contributions, from leading humanities and social science scholars, show that narratives about ai offer a crucial epistemic site for exploring contemporary debates about these powerful new technologies.

"what does ai mean for your business? read this book to find out." — hal varian, chief economist, google – artificial intelligence seems to do the impossible, magically bringing machines to life–driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. but facing the sea change that ai brings can be paralyzing. in the face of such uncertainty, many either cower in fear or predict an impossibly sunny future. – but in prediction machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of ai as a drop in the cost of prediction. with this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the ai-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the ai revolution and a basis for action by executives, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs. – in this newly revised and expanded edition, the authors illustrate how, when ai is framed as cheap prediction, its extraordinary potential becomes clear: prediction is at the heart of making decisions amid uncertainty. our businesses and personal lives are riddled with such decisions. – uncertainty constrains strategy. better prediction creates opportunities for new business strategies to compete. – reflecting on the book's reception, the authors reset the context, describing the striking impact the book has had and how its argument and its implications are playing out in the real world. and in new material, they explain how prediction fits into decision-making processes and how foundational technologies such as quantum computing will impact business choices. – penetrating, insightful, and practical, prediction machines will help you navigate the changes on the horizon. the impact of ai will be profound, but the economic framework for understanding it is surprisingly simple.
