Description:
<p><strong>Did you ask Siri for directions to soccer practice today or use face recognition to log on to your phone? That’s AI.</strong></p>
<p>The latest generation of tech tools uses artificial intelligence to perform everyday tasks. AI can speed up repetitive jobs and even be used in software to help with medical diagnoses. But when the intellectual property of writers, actors and artists is uploaded into AI systems and used without permission, AI can cause harm. In <em>Smart Machines</em>, young readers will look at the history of AI, how it works, how it’s used for good and bad and the ethical issues it raises. They’ll also discover how the risks of AI can be managed through responsible design, regulation and in the individual choices people make about which tools to use or those to avoid. AI isn’t intelligent, but it’s a tool that is revolutionizing robotics and computer programming—and it could change humanity forever.</p><p><strong>Key Selling Points</strong></p>
<ul><li>This STEAM book discusses the history of AI, what it is, how it works, how we use it in our lives, the good and the bad of the technology for humans and the planet, the ethical questions it raises and the future of AI.</li>
