Using artificial intelligence. Uses of AI -- Ranking -- Recommending -- Detecting threats -- Online attacks -- Detecting fraud -- AI in finance -- Unraveling proteins -- Searching for planets -- Digital doctors -- Monitoring health -- Internet of things -- Smart devices -- Monitoring systems -- 'Smart farming -- Sensory AI -- Processing sound -- Mimicking sight -- Facial recognition -- Understanding words -- AI interpreters -- Talking with AI -- AI writers -- AI helpers -- AI artists -- Intelligent robots -- AI companions -- Movement and mobility -- Manual dexterity -- Driverless cars -- AI and warfare -- Philosophy of artificial intelligence. Humanlike AI -- The point of no return -- Where is consciousness? -- Do submarines swim? -- The imitation game -- Intelligence metrics -- Machines and understanding -- Philosophical zombies -- A new kind of person -- Replicating the mind -- Transparent thinking -- Living with artificial intelligence. Myth or reality? -- Powered by exploitation? -- Garbage in, garbage out -- Prejudiced outcomes -- Making assumptions -- Transparent processing -- An AI workforce -- The AI balance -- An echo chamber -- The limits of control -- Right vs. wrong -- Built-in ethics -- Who is to blame? -- What should we allow? -- Existential risks -- Unlimited rewards.
Covering a broad range of fields within AI - from computing and mathematics to politics and philosophy - entries demystify what artificial intelligence is and how it works, how it has dramatically changed how we live, and how it might evolve in the future. Everyone is talking about AI, but this book helps to explain each individual aspect of AI more clearly than ever before.
