You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How Artificial Intelligence Works and Why It's Making the World a Weirder Place by Janelle Shane

4.0

---

If you have ever wondered about artificial intelligence (AI), what it is, what it can and cannot do, and how does it affect me, this is the book for you. Janelle Shane writes in a straightforward style that is easy to understand, reducing complex ideas into comprehensible language. What can AI do? What are the drawbacks of self-driving cars? Do AI generated selections show human bias? A fascinating subject written for the non scientific, non computer major, ordinary people that explains a complex subject in simple terms. Highly recommended to anyone who has ever talked to a telephone computer, or interacted with a chat box on a website.
