    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR BEGINNERS: Get a concise, informative overview of AI ethics and policy—and how it could impact our society.

    Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, has generated a staggering amount of hype in the past several years. Is it the game-changer it's been cracked up to be? If so, how is it changing the game? How is it likely to affect us as customers, tenants, aspiring home-owners, students, educators, patients, clients, prison inmates, members of ethnic and sexual minorities, voters in liberal democracies?

    This book offers a concise overview of moral, political, legal and economic implications of AI. It covers the basics of AI’s latest permutation, machine learning, and considers issues including transparency, bias, liability, privacy, and regulation.
