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

A really enjoyable and accessible overview of AI right now, illustrating the strengths and the limitations of current approaches and how they affect our lives. She also does a nice job talking about inherent biases, how they get transmitted in AI, and why they are so important to take into account. As a follow-up for more depth, I highly recommend Melanie Mitchell's "Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44368173
