About this ebook

Tomorrow begins right here as we embark on an enthralling and jargon-free journey into the world of computers and the inner recesses of the human mind. Readers encounter everything from the nanotechnology used to make insect-like robots, to the computers that perform surgery and, reminiscent of films like Terminator, computers that can learn by teaching themselves. Assuming no technical expertise whatsoever, author Blay Whitby steers a careful course through this futuristic world, revealing the pervasive impact of AI on our daily lives, in addition to discovering the biggest controversies to dog this fascinating field.

    Thank you, Blay Whitby! Does exactly what it says on the cover, explaining the history of artificial intelligence, its current applications (including washing machines and computer games), and a debate over the future of smart machines. Whitby's approach is necessarily - and thankfully - simplified, but never dumbed down. Each chapter includes a suggested reading list, and there is a helpful bibliography covering further sources at the end of the book.
