Own the A.I. Revolution: Unlock Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Disrupt Your Competition : Unlock Your Artificial Intelligence Strategy to Disrupt Your Competition

Intro: Artificial intelligence is the stuff of nightmares. Or so many people believe. In 2017, shortly before his death, the celebrated British physicist Stephen Hawking, the man who postulated the existence of black holes and wrote the international best seller A Brief History of Time, warned that the development of artificial intelligence could be “the worst event in human history,” noting that, without proper safeguards, “we could conceivably be destroyed by it.” This same year, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, the man behind the Tesla electric auto company, SpaceX, and PayPal, warned, “With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon.”Mankind’s fear of intelligent machines traces its history at least as far back as 1818 and the publication of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This seminal tale of a scientist who imbues dead tissue with life, only to be killed by his creation, became the template for every “technology run amok” story told in print or on celluloid for the next two centuries. The 1920 play R.U.R. by Czech writer Karel Čapek was not only one of the first works of twentieth-century literature to depict a revolt of mechanical slaves against their human masters. It also introduced the word “robot” to the English language. Foreword Introduction Acknowledgments SECTION IThe A.I. FrontierChapter 1"Who Could Have Imagined . . . ?" Chapter 2How Did We Get Here?
