AI Explained: Facts, Fiction and Future

AIs are everywhere and they're changing the world.

In this book, you'll learn the fundamentals of AI, some of the exciting ways we're using them today, and the kinds of things to expect and look out for in the future. And the book doesn't shy away from the hard and sometimes controversial questions; such as whether AIs will try to kill us and what a war with AI may look like.
