About this book

Author Daniel Bashir's AI Literacy is a book about AI at its best and worst: AI systems can and will do incredible things but why we need to be careful as we develop and use them. The book focuses on AI literacy, the simple act of understanding the abilities and limitations of AI systems.

Through his experiences in academia and the tech industry, Bashir has been exposed to and called to question the ethical and societal impacts of AI. Ultimately, he has come to the conclusion that the best way to explore these issues is through conversation involving those most impacted. AI Literacy, focuses on providing and expanding on the basic understanding of AI in the present so that it can guide the future to improve life for all.

You'll learn about current uses of AI and some of the ethical and societal quagmires those uses engender including:

  • How the field of AI started.
  • Where the field of AI currently stands.
  • The advancements in AI to come.

AI Literacy is directed towards the general public, technologists, and policymakers, in the the hopes of sparking innovative conversation.
