Overview

"Written in an easy-to-read style accessible to everyone, ""Machines of Tomorrow"" grounds the reader in a thorough history and description of Artificial Intelligence, enabling an appreciation of its real trajectory and ultimately a deeper level of engagement with the core concept of the book: what should societies expect from AI in the coming decades? How will AI affect employment and education in the near term and mid-term? How will AI affect our society, economy, government, culture, and geopolitics? What are the likely utopian and dystopian outcomes of AI implementations, and who will be impacted? What is really going on with China and the new AI Arms Race? Will Synthetic Biology really lead to human-cyborg coexistence, finally impacting human evolution? What should we be demanding of our leaders now to prepare for the inevitable progress in this technology? These are just some of the hard-hitting, polemic questions asked and answered by Pedro Uria-Recio and Randy McGraw, an ex-McKinsey consultant and Chief AI Officer and ex-Amazonian who for years have been working globally with this technology. Whether you're a technologist or a homemaker, a businessperson or a student, a voter or a policymaker, or simply curious about the future of humanity, ""Machines of Tomorrow"" provides essential guidance for navigating the complexities of Artificial Intelligence.
