Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World by Mo Gawdat

3.0

I was excited to read this and get a better understanding of what AI is/does. It didn't deliver that basic definition. Instead it made a bizarre pivot from acting like AI is peeing in all of our Cheerios to telling us that we should love AI unconditionally the way we love children. It's easy to read and provocative to think about, but the premise that the future will be either I, Robot or a human/digital Brady Bunch family... that's a little extreme to get behind.
