Artificial Intelligence Debunked: 10 Common Myths
By Julian Vexley

Artificial Intelligence is changing everything—how we work, how we communicate, even how we make decisions. Yet public understanding of AI is still riddled with sensationalism, fear, and misunderstanding. Is AI a conscious entity preparing to take over the world? Is it going to replace every human job? Is it inherently fair, objective, or creative? The answer to all of these questions is far more nuanced than headlines suggest.

In Artificial Intelligence Debunked, bestselling author and technology commentator Julian Vexley takes a sober, clear-eyed journey through ten of the most pervasive myths about AI. With wit, precision, and deep technical insight, Vexley separates fact from fiction, exploring everything from the myth of the sentient superintelligence to the false belief that AI is always objective or beyond human control.

Through real-world examples, accessible explanations, and thoughtful analysis, the book challenges the idea that AI is a singular, omnipotent “brain” or that we are on the cusp of a robot uprising. Instead, it presents AI as it truly is: a rapidly evolving set of tools, designed by humans, trained on human data, and subject to human bias, error, and interpretation. The book explains why AI doesn’t “create from nothing,” why it's not reserved for tech giants or geniuses, and why its greatest threats aren’t futuristic, but already here—in the form of opaque algorithms, unjust systems, and runaway hype.

Vexley’s approach isn’t alarmist or overly optimistic—it’s grounded, ethical, and empowering. By exploring how AI systems actually work (and where they don’t), listeners are equipped to make informed decisions about their own engagement with this technology.

For Anyone Confused by AI Headlines

Every time I read about AI, I feel overwhelmed. This book simplified everything, separating myth from fact. Vexley’s logical approach made me rethink how I interpret AI news stories.

Ideal for Those Tired of Doomsday AI Narratives

So many books paint AI as either our salvation or our doom. Vexley chooses something far more interesting: the truth in between. He explains why fears of sentient machines or jobless futures are oversimplified. The book focuses on real challenges, not science fiction. The narration is excellent and makes the material accessible even during a busy day. Highly recommended.

Practical Wisdom About Technology

This isn’t just about AI it’s about human responsibility. I love how the author emphasizes ethical design and transparency. It’s empowering, not intimidating.

A Clear Lens on AI Without the Hype

Vexley has a talent for breaking down complex technology in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. His explanation of creativity myths and algorithmic objectivity was especially eye-opening. Michelle Peitz’s narration adds an engaging rhythm that keeps the information flowing smoothly. This is one of the most grounded, practical explorations of AI I’ve listened to so far.

A Must-Listen for Cutting Through AI Mythology

This audiobook does a fantastic job of grounding listeners in reality. Vexley confronts myths I hear constantly—from claims that AI is infallible to the idea of an imminent robot takeover—and explains the truth with nuance and clarity. His measured tone helps build trust. Michelle Peitz’s narration complements the material perfectly. If you want an honest understanding of AI, start here.
