Faking It - Toby Walsh

Books I've Read

I borrowed this from the library as an audio book. It’s written by the professor of AI at the University of New South Wales. Despite that, it’s not particularly technical or even all that in depth. It’s an overview of the current state of AI, the hype around it and the issues around it’s use.

The title isn’t just referring to machines faking intelligence, but businesses faking their acheivements, the business model, their ethical claims. I found it an interesting listen, it felt more like a very long Ted Talk than what I expected though.
