Tomorrow begins right here as we embark on an enthralling and jargon-free journey into the world of computers and the inner recesses of the human mind. Readers encounter everything from the nanotechnology used to make insect-like robots, to the computers that perform surgery and, reminiscent of films like Terminator, computers that can learn by teaching themselves. Assuming no technical expertise whatsoever, author Blay Whitby steers a careful course through this futuristic world, revealing the pervasive impact of AI on our daily lives, in addition to discovering the biggest controversies to dog this fascinating field.

Reviews for Artificial Intelligence: An Audio Guide

I've long wished there was a clear, concise, comprehensive and infectiously enthusiastic text on artificial intelligence that I could point to and say, `read this and you will understand'. This is that book. Read it and you will understand. -- Steve Grand, author of Creation: Life and How to Make it This is a clear and level-headed approach to the subject ... it provides a readable account of where AI research is today and makes it clear what AI is not. -- Professor Noel Sharkey, University of Sheffield. Whitby's book is exciting, informative and up-to-date. This book is a must for anyone who wants to find out about AI. -- Margaret Boden, University of Sussex
