A Sunday Times Business Book of the Year. Scary Smart will teach you how to navigate the
scary and inevitable intrusion of Artificial Intelligence with an accessible blueprint for
creating a harmonious future alongside AI. From Mo Gawdat the former Chief Business Officer at
Google [X] and bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Technology is putting our humanity at
risk to an unprecedented degree. This book is not for engineers who write the code or the
policy makers who claim they can regulate it. This is a book for you. Because believe it or
not you are the only one that can fix it. - Mo Gawdat Artificial intelligence is smarter than
humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks
without distraction. AI can see into the future predict outcomes and even use sensors to see
around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong and cause harm?
The answer is us: the human beings who write the code and teach AI to mimic our behaviour.
Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now to make sure that the AI of the
future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint pointing the way to what we can
do to safeguard ourselves those we love and the planet itself. 'No one ever regrets reading
anything Mo Gawdat has written.' - Emma Gannon author of The Multi-Hyphen Method and host of
the podcast Ctrl Alt Delete
