From mechanical looms to the combustion engine to the first computers, new technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. For centuries, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. But as Daniel Susskind demonstrates, this time really is different. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of jobs are increasingly at risk.

From the Industrial Revolution to the age of artificial intelligence, The Technology Trap takes a sweeping look at the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members.

Agentic AI is changing how software gets built, automated, and used. For years, most people interacted with AI as a chatbot: ask a question, get an answer, repeat. But the next major shift is already here. AI systems are moving beyond simple prompt-and-response interactions into agents that can reason through goals, create plans, use tools, remember context, and move multi-step work forward. Agentic AI for Beginners is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to understanding and building AI agents without needing an advanced machine learning background. This book explains agentic AI as a ...

Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about - and solving - an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting. Today it is machine learning programs that enable Amazon and Netflix to predict what users will like, Apple to power Siri's ability to understand voices, and Google to pilot cars.
