Holistic overview of the past, present, and future of AI and its impact on humanity

Thinking with Machines: The Brave New World of AI provides a connected overview of the research of Vasant Dhar, a professor of information systems and the director of the Center for Data Science at New York University with more than 30 years of experience in the field of AI. This book focuses on two main areas: machine-based decision making and the trustworthiness of machines, as well as the broader impacts of data and technology in our lives and the creation of policies for a better future in a world of intelligent machines.

This book covers a variety of timely topics including:

  • Low-risk applications in the near future that are currently performed by humans at a high cost, or that are not manually possible at all
  • The "automation frontier" that expresses a tradeoff between how often the machine will be wrong and the consequences of its errors
  • The division of responsibility between humans and machines and the future of work
  • Societal risks of AI platforms, data governance, privacy, and ethics

Thinking with Machines: The Brave New World is an essential read for AI enthusiasts and learners of all types seeking deeper knowledge on the greatest technological advancement of our time.
