<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in Germany as Mensch und Maschine by Philipp Reclam jun. Verlag GmbH & Co., KG in 2018"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A penetrating guide to artificial intelligence: what it is, what it does, and how it will change our lives</b> <p/> At a breathtaking pace, artificial intelligence is getting better and faster at making complex decisions. AI can already identify malignant tumors on CT scans, give legal advice, out-bluff the best poker players in the world, and, with ever-increasing skill, drive our cars. <p/> In <i>Who's Afraid of AI?, </i> award-winning author Thomas Ramge expertly explains how machines are learning to learn, and he questions what today's explosion of AI capability could mean for tomorrow: <ul><li>Is it ethical to allow robots--endlessly patient--to replace human caregivers in providing comfort and companionship to the elderly?</li><li>Since AI feeds on big data, can we prevent its misuse by corporations or the government?</li><li>Will AI ever be capable of runaway self-improvement? And if "the singularity" does arrive, with AI's intelligence exponentially outpacing our own, what will become of us when, in many ways, we're obsolete?</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Exciting, mind boggling, and, yes, unsettling, AI is destined to transform nearly all sectors of industry and our lives in ways that we can't even imagine today. At an inviting length, <i>Who's Afraid of AI?</i> is a wonderful primer on what we need to know and what we need to worry about."--<b><i>Foreword Reviews</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Thomas Ramge</b> is the author of more than a dozen nonfiction books, including <i>Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data, </i> coauthored with Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, and <i>The Global Economy as You've Never Seen It, </i> written with Jan Schwochow.
