Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates have proclaimed Artificial Intelligence as a possible threat in the future unless humans learn to use it wisely. Could this be true? Is it possible for us to create artificial intelligence programming so that we'll soon have thinking and feeling AI? Is it even possible for us to have a human-looking AI run for president in the future? All of these questions and thoughts are addressed in Artificial Intelligence: Understanding A.I. and the Implications of Machine Learning.

Will AI take over?

The evolution of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when foundational concepts were first introduced by pioneers in computer science. Early developments focused on creating machines that could mimic human reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. These initial efforts laid the groundwork for the sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques that underpin modern AI systems.

Transhumanism is a global intellectual movement supporting the use of science and technology in order to improve human health, well-being, and mental capacities. Many in the Transhumanism movement believe that disability, disease, and even aging are all aspects of the human condition that we shall be able to overcome in the future. Using the very latest technologies, including biotechnology, advocates claim that every ailment and frailty will one day be a thing of the past.

From product design and financial modeling to performance management and hiring decisions—artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming everyday tools for managers at businesses of all sizes. But the rewards of every AI system come with risks—and if you don't understand how to make sense of them, you're not going to make the right decisions. Whether you want to get up to speed quickly, could just use a refresher, or are working with an AI expert for the first time, HBR Guide to AI Basics for Managers will give you the information and skills you need.

Artificial Intelligence is changing everything—how we work, how we communicate, even how we make decisions. Yet public understanding of AI is still riddled with sensationalism, fear, and misunderstanding. Is AI a conscious entity preparing to take over the world? Is it going to replace every human job? Is it inherently fair, objective, or creative? The answer to all of these questions is far more nuanced than headlines suggest.
