"Artificial intelligence has an advantage over humans: it can process information at the speed of light and carry out specific tasks without being distracted, as well as predict future outcomes or see angles that escape us. So how is it that it has so many flaws or responds in such dangerous ways? The answer is us: users design the algorithms that define how the system works, and the information that AI processes mimics our behaviors. The intelligence that scares us will discover how to correct the trajectory we are heading towards in order to ensure that the AI of the future works in our favor. Gawdat draws on his extensive experience to teach us-and machines-how we can live better and show us what we can do to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and theplanet itself. Because the future is in our hands."--
