“With the explosive expansion of cloud computing capacity, mobile communication technologies, and the internet of things over the past couple of decades, AI systems have become an increasingly unavoidable—indeed pervasive—part of our everyday lives. And yet, many of us have very little idea of how these technologies actually work, or of where, when, and how they are being used by law enforcement agencies, private companies, and governments. The authors of A Citizen’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence do a masterful job of opening a public conversation that promises to redress this troubling knowledge gap.” —David Leslie, Ethics Team Lead, Alan Turing Institute “A Citizen’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence is a text that ought to be read widely. The book’s subject matter is highly relevant, and it provokes many probing questions that deserve further consideration on the part of the reader and broader society.” —London School of Economics
