GENIUS MAKERS - CADE METZ KARTONIERT (TB)

The definitive account of the race to create artificial intelligence 'This colourful
page-turner puts artificial intelligence into a human perspective . . . Metz explains this
transformative technology and makes the quest thrilling.' Walter Isaacson  author of Steve Jobs
___ Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future  artificial intelligence was a project
once consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed
everything. One was a 64-year-old computer science professor with a back problem so severe he
could not drive or fly. The other was a 36-year-old neuroscientist and chess prodigy. Though
they took very different paths  together they helped catapult AI to the forefront of our daily
lives and  in the process  created a business worth billions. This is the story of that
technological revolution and of the arms race it has sparked among companies that range from
Google to Facebook to OpenAI. It's the story of growing international rivalry to achieve major
new breakthroughs. And it's a story that shows both the inventive best of humankind and its
darker side  as advances have been counter-balanced by issues of prejudice  bias and the
invasion of privacy. New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz draws on unparalleled
access to all the major players to create an extraordinarily vivid account of a revolution over
five decades in the making. And he poses the questions that will dominate the next
half-century: where will AI take us next? Are systems with truly human intelligence on the
horizon? And  if so  where does that leave us? ___ 'One day soon  when computers are safely
driving our roads and speaking to us in complete sentences  we'll look back at Cade Metz's
elegant  sweeping Genius Makers as their birth story - the Genesis for an age of sentient
machines.' Brad Stone  author of The Everything Store and The Upstarts
