A timely and important book that explores the societal and ethical implications of artificial intelligence as we approach the cusp of a fourth industrial revolutionGeorge Zarkadakis explores one of humankind's oldest love-hate relationships: our ties with artificial intelligence, or AI. He traces AI's origins in ancient myth, through literary classics like Frankenstein to today's science fiction blockbusters, arguing that a fascination with AI is hardwired into the human psyche. He explains AI's history, technology, and potential; its manifestations in intelligent machines; its connections to neurology and consciousness, as well as--perhaps most tellingly--what AI reveals about us as human beings.In Our Own Image argues that we are on the brink of a fourth industrial revolution--poised to enter the age of artificial intelligence as science fiction becomes science fact. Ultimately, Zarkadakis observes, the fate of AI has profound implications for the future of science and humanity itself.
