The definitive account of the race to create artificial
intelligence 'This colourful page-turner puts artificial
intelligence into a human perspective . . . Metz explains this
transformative technology and makes the quest thrilling.' Walter
Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs ___ Long dismissed as a technology
of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project once
consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two
researchers changed everything. One was a 64-year-old computer
science professor with a back problem so severe he could not drive
or fly. The other was a 36-year-old neuroscientist and chess
prodigy. Though they took very different paths, together they
helped catapult AI to the forefront of our daily lives and, in the
process, created a business worth billions. This is the story of
that technological revolution and of the arms race it has sparked
among companies that range from Google to Facebook to OpenAI. It's
the story of growing international rivalry to achieve major new
breakthroughs. And it's a story that shows both the inventive best
of humankind and its darker side, as advances have been
counter-balanced by issues of prejudice, bias and the invasion of
privacy. New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz draws
on unparalleled access to all the major players to create an
extraordinarily vivid account of a revolution over five decades in
the making. And he poses the questions that will dominate the next
half-century: where will AI take us next? Are systems with truly
human intelligence on the horizon? And, if so, where does that
leave us? ___ 'One day soon, when computers are safely driving our
roads and speaking to us in complete sentences, we'll look back at
Cade Metz's elegant, sweeping Genius Makers as their birth story -
the Genesis for an age of sentient machines.' Brad Stone, author of
The Everything Store and The Upstarts
