Jeremy Kahn – författare

A Fortune magazine journalist draws on his expertise and extensive contacts among the companies and scientists at the forefront of artificial intelligence to offer dramatic predictions of AI’s impact over the next decade, from reshaping our economy and the way we work, learn, and create to unknitting our social fabric, jeopardizing our democracy, and fundamentally altering the way we think.Within the next five years, Jeremy Kahn predicts, AI will disrupt almost every industry and enterprise, with vastly increased efficiency and productivity. It will restructure the workforce, making AI copilots a must for every knowledge worker. It will revamp education, meaning children around the world can have personal, portable tutors. It will revolutionize health care, making individualized, targeted pharmaceuticals more affordable. It will compel us to reimagine how we make art, compose music, and write and publish books. The potential of generative AI to extend our skills, talents, and creativity as humans is undeniably exciting and promising. But while this new technology has a bright future, it also casts a dark and fearful shadow. AI will provoke pervasive, disruptive, potentially devastating knock-on effects. Leveraging his unrivaled access to the leaders, scientists, futurists, and others who are making AI a reality, Kahn will argue that if not carefully designed and vigilantly regulated AI will deepen income inequality, depressing wages while imposing winner-take-all markets across much of the economy. AI risks undermining democracy, as truth is overtaken by misinformation, racial bias, and harmful stereotypes. Continuing a process begun by the internet, AI will rewire our brains, likely inhibiting our ability to think critically, to remember, and even to get along with one another—unless we all take decisive action to prevent this from happening. Much as Michael Lewis’s classic The New New Thing offered a prescient, insightful, and eminently readable account of life inside the dot-com bubble, Mastering AI delivers much-needed guidance for anyone eager to understand the AI boom—and what comes next.

An urgent book on generative artificial intelligence exploring the risk and benefits looming in this seminal moment'Easily the best exploration to date on the perils and promise of AI.” —ASHLEE VANCE author of When the Heavens Went on Sale'Mastering AI is a must-read. It’s hard to put down'. —BETHANY McLEAN, coauthor of The Smartest Guys in the Room and The Big Fail'A timely and urgent exploration of AI’s dizzying acceleration' —BRAD STONE, author of The Everything StoreThe debut of ChatGPT on November 30th 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.
