About the Book

The biggest companies are investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence and comparing the technology to the invention of Fire and Electricity. Mainstream media is filled with articles related to job losses induced by AI. Nobel laurates and researchers are raising the alarms about the hard take off scenario where AI can become more intelligent and wipe us out.
