A review by ebal
Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence by Joshua Gans, Avi Goldfarb, Ajay Agrawal

1.0

I am really sorry but I have to give a negative review of this book. There are three basic rules of me choosing a book: entertainment, educational, or escape my bubble. Unfortunately this book didn't provide me anything of those things. I should say that some of their facts are also wrong, especially in the history of computers/AI I was hoping to read about ELIZA in that chapter! I understand that this book is being written from an economists point of view and thus my expectations shouldn't be very high on a technical side, but this book just offers a simple overview of the current status in AI and nothing else. At least for me. Full disclosure I got this audiobook on a sale $3.66.
