In Who's Afraid of AI?, award-winning author Thomas Ramge expertly explains how machines are learning to learn, and he questions what today's explosion of AI capability could mean for tomorrow: • Is it ethical to allow robots—endlessly patient—to replace human caregivers in providing comfort and companionship to the elderly? • Since AI feeds on big data, can we prevent its misuse by corporations or the government? • Will AI ever be capable of runaway self-improvement? And if "the singularity" does arrive, with AI's intelligence exponentially outpacing our own, what will become of us when, in many ways, we're obsolete?
