About the Book

Written by a human, for humans.

Discover the incredible impact of AI with this must-read guide from best-selling author Nigel Poulton. From revolutionising our daily lives to shaping global politics, global economies, national security, and even sports, AI is changing the world in ways we never thought possible. But beware - with great power comes great responsibility, and this book doesn't shy away from the ethical dilemmas, risks, and potential threats of AI.

  • Learn the truth about AIs and how we create them
  • Uncover the potential for positive change in areas such as education, healthcare, transportation, and even sports
  • Gain insights into the latest developments in AI, including ChatGPT, deepfakes, bias, consciousness, and ethics
  • Understand the challenges surrounding AI consciousness and self-awareness
  • Consider the dangers of AIs falling into the wrong hands or AIs going rogue
  • Explore real-world examples and draw your own conclusions about the impact of AI on our economy, local and global politics, national security, and the climate

If you're intrigued about AI and want to understand its incredible potential, this book is a game-changer. It reads like a novel but is packed with facts and insights, delivering a thought-provoking exploration of AI that will challenge the way you think about technology and its impact on our daily lives and the future of humanity.

Once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down!
