Artificially Intelligent
with David Eliot
Hosted by Adrian Harewood
“Eliot insists that if we understand the impact of AI on our lives, and not just passively use it, we can resist the wealth inequality it has created. He cautions us that a storm is coming, and we need to prepare. An important book.”
SCIENCE SATURDAY: The story of AI isn’t finished yet. The question is: How will you be part of it? Join our host, Adrian Harewood, for a conversation with David Eliot, author of Artificially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI.
In an age of unparalleled innovation and change, artificial intelligence has become the heart of our fears, discussions, and debates. Thus, AI researcher and award-winner David Eliot takes readers on a journey through the key moments and decisions that have shaped its creation and our world. A socially driven history, the book explores its technical breakthroughs and the social forces that made them possible.
But this book isn’t just about the past – it’s about you.
Artificially Intelligent invites readers to find their place in the story of AI, to understand its impact on their lives, and to decide what kind of future they want to help create.
