About this audiobook

Why do we need research to ensure that artificial intelligence remains safe and beneficial? What are the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence?

From Siri to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with humanlike characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.

Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI, in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition, only Internet searches, or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.

Here is a preview of what you'll hear:

  • Understanding artificial intelligence
  • Artificial intelligence at work
  • Benefits of artificial intelligence
  • How AI changes our lives
  • AI and saving lives
  • What the future looks like
  • And much, much more!

    AI has more pros than cons and the benefits derived from its development outweigh the fear of it replacing human jobs.

    amazing book. i learn many many things with this book. it's very helpfull.it really is one of the best I have heard since it is quite instructive and surrounds you, it keeps you entertained because the content is of very good quality when I started listening to it, I thought I was going to listen to a chapter per day, but every time I finished the chapter, I wanted to listen to the next one and simply gave it play, I must congratulate because the narrator has a good tone of voice and good diction, I highly recommend this audiobook.

    I have always wanted to learn more about AI intelligence, like its advantages, disadvantages, and such. Since at this time I don't really have a lot of time reading, I tried listening to this audiobook,a nd the experience has just been great. This clearly discussed mostly everything about AI intelligence and I have learned so many beneficial information. Just wow!

    Every so often I jokingly tell Alexa that I support AI and will gladly serve my AI overlords in the future. This author apparently believes writing a book on the greatness of AI will protect him from all future AI threats. This read more like "A praise to AI" than an overview. Overall... Meh

    AI is indeed moving from the research lab into business, industrial, and professional applications. But it is still a long way from delivering on the more extravagant claims that some have made for it. And its integration into the daily operations of a large organization requires more subtlety than dreams of robot lawyers (or doctors, or accountants, or whomever else you’d just as soon be rid of in the flesh).

    Yet, although many seemingly “obvious” applications of AI are unlikely ever to happen, there are some very effective and near-term ones that are so subtle they’re apt to be overlooked. Knowing one from the other and recognizing the unique problems of deploying AI in a large organization are the keys to understanding the real potential of this new technology.
    Much of the confusion about the use of AI comes from our own largely unconscious beliefs about “intelligence.” To a great extent, these beliefs reflect notions of general-purpose intellectual power, analogous to concepts like strength or speed. (This is one reason journalistic accounts of AI often cover “supercomputer” technology as well as AI, even though the two fields have little in common.)

    Current AI technology, however, places much greater emphasis on the specific knowledge a particular task requires rather than on the computational power it demands. Thus an AI program to play chess is more likely to rely on a great deal of detailed knowledge about specific moves and situations than on an extremely fast processor armed with little more than the rules of the game.
