The ultimate dream of AI is to build machines that are conscious and self-aware. While this remains a remote possibility, rapid progress in AI is transforming our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet the public debate is still largely centred on unlikely prospects, from sentient machines to dystopian robot takeovers. Michael Wooldridge challenges the prevailing narrative, revealing how the hype distracts us from both the more immediate risks that this technology poses - from algorithmic bias to fake news - and the true life-changing potential of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891411648548,"sku":"B9780241333907","price":25.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-the-road-to-conscious-machines-book.jpg?v=1785751598","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/the-road-to-conscious-machines","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
