Publisher's Summary

Tomorrow begins right here as we embark on an enthralling and jargon-free journey into the world of computers and the inner recesses of the human mind. Readers encounter everything from the nanotechnology used to make insect-like robots, to the computers that perform surgery and, reminiscent of films like Terminator, computers that can learn by teaching themselves. Assuming no technical expertise whatsoever, author Blay Whitby steers a careful course through this futuristic world, revealing the pervasive impact of AI on our daily lives, in addition to discovering the biggest controversies to dog this fascinating field.

Editorial Reviews

Far from being a futuristic science, artificial intelligence is happening right now, and in this succinct and cutting-edge listen, University of Sussex Professor of Philosophy Blay Whitby guides us through this emerging field. Performed with typical enthusiasm and energy by accomplished audiobook narrator Richard Aspel, this audiobook introduces listeners to everything from nanotechnology and artificial neural nets to autodidactic computers. Including a critique of common myths about AI (like the idea that humans will become enslaved by machines, as in the film The Terminator), this riveting performance is a worthy introduction to the many successes of AI, as well as the field's promising future.

Critic Reviews

“I've long wished there was a clear, concise, comprehensive and infectiously enthusiastic text on artificial intelligence that I could point to and say, ‘read this and you will understand’. This is that book. Read it and you will understand.” (Steve Grand, author of Creation: Life and How to Make it)
“This is a clear and level-headed approach to the subject … it provides a readable account of where AI research is today and makes it clear what AI is not.” (Professor Noel Sharkey, University of Sheffield.)
“Whitby's book is exciting, informative and up-to-date. This book is a must for anyone who wants to find out about AI.” (Margaret Boden, University of Sussex)
