The second TIMES bestseller, this book highlights the massive impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on all of our lives. An accessible and logical guide that helps uncover the nature of AI.

Nigel Toon, a visionary in the field of artificial intelligence, demonstrates that those who understand the thinking of AI will gain significant benefits. Computers had until now been limited to roles of information storage and participation in logical games, but in recent years, this has radically changed.

Search engines are evolving into answer engines, and artificial intelligence is revolutionizing fields such as education, healthcare, and the creative arts. The book explores how AI understands emotional charge and context, how it excels in games with nearly infinite combinations of moves, and how we can collaborate with it to produce innovative insights that surpass human capabilities.

Nigel Toon shows us how to train AI to teach itself, creating images that never existed before or conversing in any language. The strange and fascinating ways in which we think as humans are discovered, as we learn to live in a world we share with the machines we have created.
