Toby Walsh Book order

In an increasingly AI-driven world, renowned expert Toby Walsh examines what the 'artificial' in artificial intelligence truly means.

Exploring the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, the book delves into its pervasive influence on daily life, from consumer choices to healthcare advancements. Professor Toby Walsh raises critical questions about the moral responsibilities surrounding AI, such as potential biases in technology and the rights of machines. He examines pressing issues like self-driving cars and facial recognition, urging a careful consideration of the regulations needed to harness AI's benefits while mitigating its risks. This thought-provoking analysis calls for proactive decision-making to shape a positive future for AI.

Toby Walsh explores how AI is here to stay and although it may not be the stuff of science fiction, but it will undoubtedly change the future of the human race, for better or worse.

A scientist who has spent a career developing Artificial Intelligence takes a realistic look at the technological challenges and assesses the likely effect of AI on the future. How will Artificial Intelligence (AI) impact our lives? Toby Walsh, one of the leading AI researchers in the world, takes a critical look at the many ways in which "thinking machines" will change our world. Based on a deep understanding of the technology, Walsh describes where Artificial Intelligence is today, and where it will take us. * Will automation take away most of our jobs? * Is a "technological singularity" near? * What is the chance that robots will take over? * How do we best prepare for this future? The author concludes that, if we plan well, AI could be our greatest legacy, the last invention human beings will ever need to make.

Comprehensive discussion of where AI will be in 40 years and the questions we all need to be asking now to shape the future.

Is the day coming when humans are redundant and robots control our destiny? Are we heading for a catastrophe of our own making?
