Future tense : how we made artificial intelligence -- and how it will change everything / Martha Brockenbrough.
"Unlike the wheel, combustion engines, or electricity, AI does the thing that humans do best: think. While AI hasn't reproduced the marvelously complex human brain, it has been able to accomplish astonishing things. It has defeated our best human players at games like chess, Go, and Jeopardy!. It's learned to recognize objects and speech. AI tools like ChatGPT can create art and high-quality writing. It's even helped grieving people feel as though they were talking with their dead loved ones. But AI has also put innocent people in jail, manipulated the emotions of social media users, and tricked people into believing deepfake propaganda. It's also failed thus far to live up to its promise--to create intelligent machines that perceive, learn, reason, and make decisions faster and better than human beings. Failures aside, AI gets better every day, and over the next decade it will transform our lives. In this non-fiction book, acclaimed author and teacher Martha Brockenbrough guides readers through AI's history, how it works, and where it often falls short. The book also explores AI's effects on education, health care, work, politics, international relations, war, and even romance. It's essential reading for everyone who wants to understand how artificial intelligence got here, how we can expect it to change the world--and how we might have some say in the matter" -- Provided by publisher.
