Product Information

The award-winning author Melanie Mitchell, a leading computer scientist, now reveals AI’s turbulent history and the recent spate of apparent successes, grand hopes, and emerging fears surrounding it.

The village dated from times when people were at least six inches shorter and all dwellings were built accordingly.Crystalline nature writing shot through with compassion and humour, this is literature for those who wander.

Staff and students can access an unlimited number of e-books within the collection, concurrently, an unlimited number of times. This frank, lively book is an indispensable guide to understanding today’s AI, its quest for “human-level” intelligence, and its impact on the future for us all.
