This isn't just another book extolling the wonders of artificial intelligence, but a thoughtful and critical guide to surviving the hype. The authors, experienced AI and sociology researchers from Princeton, serve as myth-debunkers.
Their central thesis: the modern world suffers from a dangerous confusion. The word "AI" is used to refer to fundamentally different technologies, as if all vehicles—from bicycles to spaceships—were simply called "vehicles." This confusion breeds misunderstandings, allows unscrupulous companies to sell technologies that don't and can't work as promised, and hinders society from realizing the true potential of AI.
The book combines in-depth academic research with real-world case studies to demonstrate where modern AI systems are beneficial and where they are harmful. This is not a technical textbook or a hype manifesto, but a practical guide for decision makers and for those who want to protect themselves and society from “snake” promises.
