My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evil Robots, Killer Computers, and Other Myths: The Truth About AI and the Future of Humanity by Steven Shwartz discusses AI and its implications for society. This is surprisingly an easy-to-read book. The author manages to disseminate the information in a relatively simple manner, making what might appear to be a complicated subject, more accessible. With the advancement of AI, many are fearful of what might happen to us as humans as this technology explodes. The author sets out to dispel our fears and makes a case that AI is not going to take over the world or dominate society. Computers simply cannot think as well as humans. This is an enjoyable read, one that combines common sense with a touch of humor. For AI enthusiasts this is a perfect book, and for those who don't know the subject well, it will calm their fears. Highly recommend.
