Artificial Intelligence cover

This book explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on society, addressing ethical, legal, and social dilemmas posed by intelligent machines.

In the coming decades, Artificial Intelligence is set to revolutionize the way we work and live, raising critical questions about its implications. As intelligent machines become more integrated into our daily lives, we must consider whose interests these systems ultimately serve. The book delves into the complex social, ethical, legal, and economic challenges that accompany the rise of AI. It serves as a concise introduction to the profound changes that intelligent machines are likely to bring, impacting everything from employment to personal relationships.

The narrative explores how Artificial Intelligence may not only enhance our collective wealth but also disrupt labor markets and alter societal structures. With machines increasingly taking on roles traditionally reserved for humans, we face a future where our understanding of responsibility and accountability may be fundamentally transformed. The text raises urgent questions about the nature of machine autonomy and the ethical frameworks necessary to govern their use.

Ultimately, Artificial Intelligence invites readers to reflect on deep philosophical dilemmas that have long challenged thinkers. Can machines be held accountable for their actions? Should they possess rights and responsibilities? As society grapples with these questions, the book offers insights that may reshape our views on technology and its place in our lives. It encourages a thoughtful examination of the future we are creating with intelligent systems at the forefront.

I found this to be well worth reading; it covers serious matters from an intelligent point of view and leaves one with much food for thought. * Peter Tyers, Concatenation *
Artificial Intelligence. What Everyone Needs To Know, is a very accomplished combination of introduction to the subject and discussion on the most important associated questions. * Alexander Armbruster, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *
