Important book looking at the broader contexf of AI work, its dependencies and application. It offers many important critiques to actors from companies to states that are applying the technology without a sense of the potential risks.

The problem with the book is that it offers a critique that is impractical and unrealistic in its high ground standing. The style is typical of the kind of jiurnalistic expose’ that leaves you asking for a rational alternative.

Nevertheless this is a must read for anyone working with AI.

Mandatory reading for all “tech dudebros” who think AI is the ultimate answer to life and the universe. Actually, mandatory reading for everyone.

I think this could be a really interesting book, but I’m not currently in the correct mindset to read it.
