Artificial intelligence will shake up our lives as thoroughly as the arrival of the internet. This popular, up-to-date book charts AI's rise from its Cold War origins to its explosive growth in the 2020s.
Tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker (TikTok Boom and YouTubers) goes into the laboratories of the Silicon Valley innovators making rapid advances in 'large language models' of machine learning. He meets the insiders at Google and OpenAI who built Gemini and ChatGPT and reveals the extraordinary plans they have for them.
Along the way, he explores AI's dark side by talking to workers who have lost their jobs to bots and engages with futurologists worried that a man-made super-intelligence could threaten humankind.
He answers critical questions about the AI revolution, such as what humanity might be jeopardising and the professions that will win and lose - and whether the existential threat technologists Elon Musk and Sam Altman are warning about is realistic - or a smokescreen to divert attention away from their growing power.
How AI Ate the World is a 'start here' guide for anyone who wants to know more about the world we have just entered.
