'A light-hearted, but engaging conversation about one of the key
technologies of our age.I recommend this book to anyone interested
in the broader issues around Artificial Intelligence.'Richard
HartleyAustralian National University, Australia This book engages
with the title question: what is artificial intelligence (AI)?
Instead of reiterating received definitions or surveying the field
from a disciplinary perspective, the question is engaged here by
putting two standpoints into conversation. The standpoints are
different in their disciplinary groundings - i.e. technology and
the humanities - and also in their approaches - i.e. applied and
conceptual. Peter is an AI engineer: his approach is in terms of
how to make AI work. Suman is a humanities researcher: his approach
is in terms of what people and academics mean when they say 'AI'.A
coherent argument, if not a consensus, develops by putting the two
standpoints into conversation. The conversation is presented in 32
short chapters, in turn by Suman and Peter. There are two parts:
Part 1, Questioning AI, and Part 2, AI and Government Policy. The
first part covers issues such as the meaning of intelligence,
automation, evolution, artificial and language. It outlines some of
the processes through which these concepts may be technologically
grounded as AI. The second part addresses policy considerations
that underpin the development of AI and responds to the
consequences. Themes taken up here include: rights and
responsibilities; data usage and state-level strategies in the USA,
UK and China; unemployment and policy futures.
