Publisher's summary

The future is less fearsome when you know what you’re facing. Shape AI's future by actively participating in this technology—even if you’ve never considered yourself a techie.

Bring up the subject of AI and you’re liable to receive opinions from opposite sides of the spectrum.

On one side, you’ll find the firm supporters of AI—those who are excited about the shortcuts afforded by ChatGPT, or keen to harness AI’s game-changing abilities in spheres such as healthcare, finance, or robotics.

On the other side are the naysayers—those who either turn a blind eye to the rapid advancement of AI or those who feel that AI will never reach the level of sophistication required to take over their jobs.

Yet AI is here to stay and if you want to avoid being stampeded by its progress, then you might as well be one of its drivers.

This doesn’t mean you have to be an AI developer or even work in tech.

It simply involves being aware of specific ethical considerations, the core benefits and disadvantages of using AI, and the sectors whose jobs are most likely to be replaced by AI.

It additionally means using AI to your benefit by harnessing the most powerful AI tools available—both in your profession and in your personal life.

And that is exactly why this book was written. Consider it a comprehensive guide for all you need to become more involved in AI.

Instead of being a passive observer to its onslaught, you can form part of a movement that decides where this technology goes and what role you wish to play.

It’s logical to hope that technological advances will always be for the best.

And without a doubt, artificial intelligence has the potential to create a fairer, more equitable, and kinder society.

But it also has its disadvantages—and knowing what these challenges are (and how to negotiate them) is vital if you wish to make the most of AI, without letting it sweep you up.
