By automating decision-making systems, AI automates more and more tasks that were previously done at great or small cost by humans. Usually boring jobs, but also very complex, dangerous, and difficult ones. Automation takes advantage of the abundance of data and our computational power. The airplane's autopilot is the most classic and recognizable example to everyone. Airplane operators intervene only during takeoff and landing. The entire rest of the journey is entrusted to the airplane's automated systems. Early airplane flights included five people in the cockpit. Today there are only two. Tomorrow, who knows? The discussion reasonably revolves around the costs of automation, because we have seen this work before. Mass unemployment, insecurity, and political turmoil caused by technological disruptions are not insignificant. Carl Benedikt Frey, in his book The Technology Trap, warns us not to make the same mistakes and to prepare ourselves.
This book is a concise guide that will help you understand the dynamics of technological advancements and gain a comprehensive view of the main issues arising from the use of artificial intelligence in an ever-increasing number of areas of our lives.
Humanity currently has the opportunity to create, with machines as partners, conditions of prosperity for all. However, the risks are real, which is why we must all engage in the discussion. This glossary aims to equip everyone with the necessary knowledge and information to participate in it. The creation of thinking machines can be the best or the worst invention we have made; we decide.
The purpose of the book is to give you a good idea of the exciting developments that lie ahead and to encourage you to take the future into your own hands. Technology, like art, can be a beautiful and liberating vehicle, a force of love for life and others. Let us understand it better.

By automating decision-making systems, AI automates more and more tasks that were previously done at great or small cost by humans. Usually boring jobs, but also very complex, dangerous, and difficult ones. Automation takes advantage of the abundance of data and our computational power. The airplane's autopilot is the most classic and recognizable example to everyone. Airplane operators intervene only during takeoff and landing. The entire rest of the journey is entrusted to the airplane's automated systems. Early airplane flights included five people in the cockpit. Today there are only two. Tomorrow, who knows? The discussion reasonably revolves around the costs of automation, because we have seen this work before. Mass unemployment, insecurity, and political turmoil caused by technological disruptions are not insignificant.
