DESCRIPTION:
“Artificial intelligence will transform how we live and work. We are lucky to have as gifted and experienced a thinker as Jerry Kaplan to guide us as we navigate through this new age."—John Doerr, Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. But how we use AI is up to us
janet belsky said Jared Diamond of the future. Jerry Kaplan does for the future what Jared Diamond did for the past: He pulls together our human (or humanoid) fate in sparkling,often hilarious, prose. Kaplan begins by offering the non scientific reader (me) a clear overview of the AI advances that are poised to make human workers obsolete--offering eye popping examples explaining how the pace of technology is destined to overwhelm the human landscape of life and work. He then charts the changes that span . We live in interesting times Colditz, J.B. This was an eye-opening book. It focuses new developments in artificial intelligence under the lenses of ethics and economics. As someone who develops automation software and language-processing algorithms on social media, I only wish that the author would have gone more in-depth with the implications of how computers/algorithms are already contributing to the social network banter and online comment threads that many of us assume are humans at keyboards (muc. One of the better non-technical treatments of deep learning Amazon Customer One of the better non-technical treatments of deep learning, AI etc. The differentiator, I think, is that Kaplan lived in this space for long enough to know what is actually happening, not what some visionaries and doomsayers speculate might happen.

An economy experiencing widespread automation of existing jobs would have high churn, substanti
As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities. An insightful, engaging tour by a noted Silicon Valley insider of how accelerating developments in Artificial Intelligence will transform the way we live and workSelected as one of the 10 best science and technology books of 2015 by The Economist After billions of dollars and fifty years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-read for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.. Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure — but as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He proposes innovative, free-mar
