These Strange New Minds: How Ai Learned To Talk And What It Means

About

Can AI systems think, know, and understand?

Could they manipulate or deceive you, and if so, what might they make you do?

Whose interests do they represent?

When will they be able to move beyond words and take action in the real world?


Join Neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield as he explores these questions, charting AI's evolution from early ideas in the seventeenth century to today's deep neural networks. His latest book, These Strange New Minds, is the most accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative exploration of this radical technology. With an understanding of AI's inner workings, we can address the existential question of our age: can we look forward to a technological utopia, or are we writing ourselves out of history?
