Item description from the seller

Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionize everyone’s lives, and Nigel Toon's book provides an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI. Entrepreneur and Dragon's Den star Deborah Meaden calls it "an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI," while Marc Tremblay, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, describes Toon as "a visionary leader in the field of artificial intelligence... a must-read."

Toon asserts that those who understand how AI thinks are poised to win big. Traditionally, we viewed computers as advanced calculators, adept at storing information and playing logical games like chess. However, recent developments have dramatically changed this perception. Computers now think intuitively and respond to questions as humans might.

Our search engines are transforming into answer engines, and AI is revolutionizing various sectors, including education, healthcare, and the creative arts. Toon explores how AI understands sentiment and context, excels in complex games, and collaborates with humans to produce insights and innovations beyond human capacity. From instantly writing code to solving intricate 3D protein puzzles, AI's capabilities are expanding rapidly.

We are on the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and create significant opportunities for those who grasp AI's workings. Toon explains how we train AI to train itself, enabling it to paint unprecedented images and converse in any language. In doing so, he reveals fascinating insights into human thought processes as we learn to coexist with machine intelligences we have created.

Nigel Toon's book is a vital guide to understanding and harnessing the power of AI in this transformative era. 📚❤️
