An excellent, extremely up-to-date overview of the most important technological revolution in human history.

An introduction to contemporary AI that is equal parts lucid, engaging and humane! Tim Rocktäschel's elegant conversational style invites the reader on a breathtaking tour of cutting-edge AI research. We encounter complex concepts in intuitive and playful ways, sparking both deep understanding and joyous curiosity. As we grow accustomed to the inner workings of neural networks and large language models, we discover that the story of creating AI is a very human one, peppered with tales of happy accidents, mistaken bets, great feats of engineering, prescient sages and real risks. To answer everyday questions about AI is hard, and to sketch how frontier AI might transform science and the wider world is harder still: Tim Rocktäschel achieves both with humor, care and insight. If I were to recommend one book on AI, this would be it! * Dr Edward Hughes, London School of Economics and Google DeepMind *
