Welcome to AI: A Human Guide to Artificial Intelligence by David L. Shrier
A fascinating guide to the rapidly advancing world of Artificial Intelligence and how this powerful technology will impact our lives, our careers, and our world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving workforce disruption on a scale not seen since the Industrial Revolution. In schools and universities AI technology has forced a reevaluation of the way students are taught and assessed. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has become a cultural phenomenon, reaching a hundred million users and attracting a reputed $1 trillion investor interest in its parent company, OpenAI. The race to dominate the generative AI market is accelerating at breakneck speed, inspiring breathless headlines and immense public interest. ChatGPT is a consumer-facing service that allows you to engage in conversation with an AI and have it not only give you answers to questions, but actually create content for you. Instead of the functional but still somewhat awkward vernacular of search engine technology, where you have to dive down a rabbit’s warren of links in order to extract meaning and substance, ChatGPT does the heavy lifting for you. ChatGPT can write software code or an essay in response to a prompt from a business school professor in the blink of an eye.
