'TIMELY AND IMPORTANT' JIM AL-KHALILI

In Our Own Image by Dr George Zarkadakis explores one of humankind's oldest love--hate relationships -- our ties with Artificial Intelligence or AI. Zarkadakis traces AI's origins in ancient myth through literary classics such as Frankenstein to today's sci-fi blockbusters arguing that a fascination with AI is hardwired into the human psyche. He explains AI's history technology and potential; its manifestations in intelligent machines; its connections to neurology and consciousness as well as -- perhaps most tellingly -- what AI reveals about us as human beings.

In Our Own Image argues that we are on the brink of a fourth industrial revolution -- poised to enter the age of Artificial Intelligence as science fiction becomes science fact. Ultimately Zarkadakis observes the fate of AI has profound implications for the future of science and humanity itself&
