An urgent book on generative artificial intelligence exploring the risk and benefits looming in this seminal moment

The debut of ChatGPT on November 30th 2022 was a watershed moment in the history of technology.

We stand on the threshold of a new age — one where content of all kinds, even software itself, will be conjured, seemingly from thin air, with simple conversation. In a culture fraught with misinformation, Mastering AI pierces through the thicket of exaggerated claims, explaining how we arrived at this moment and mapping the likely long-term impacts on business, economics, culture and society this potent technology will have. This book will serve as a guide to those dangers — as well as highlighting the technology’s transformative potential — and will pinpoint concrete steps that should be taken to regulate generative AI.
