Goodreads review by Alfred on March 02, 2025

Quite a nice gentle introduction to AI, but not particularly ground breaking. Has good sections on thought experiments on consciousness, reasons that LLMs can be intelligent even by being extremely proficient at guessing the next word in a sequence and outlines possible ways that AI research can ove......more

Goodreads review by Niketan on February 15, 2025

A quick overview of AI. A good primer if you are a beginner. You will get a good start. Not a detailed exploration. You should read other detailed books for that.......more

Quotes

An excellent, extremely up-to-date overview of the most important technological revolution in human history. It is written in a rare way that will be enjoyable to everyone from experts to those with zero background. I found myself unable to put it down and read it cover to cover. Professor Jeff Clune, Computer Science, University of British Columbia

An introduction to contemporary AI that is equal parts lucid, engaging and humane! Tim Rocktäschel's elegant conversational style invites the reader on a breathtaking tour of cutting-edge AI research. We encounter complex concepts in intuitive and playful ways, sparking both deep understanding and joyous curiosity. As we grow accustomed to the inner workings of neural networks and large language models, we discover that the story of creating AI is a very human one, peppered with tales of happy accidents, mistaken bets, great feats of engineering, prescient sages and real risks. To answer everyday questions about AI is hard, and to sketch how frontier AI might transform science and the wider world is harder still: Tim Rocktäschel achieves both with humor, care and insight. If I were to recommend one book on AI, this would be it! Dr Edward Hughes, London School of Economics and Google DeepMind
