Editor's Introduction
- Normally at Five Books we ask experts to recommend the best books in their field and talk to us about them in an interview, either in person, by phone or via Zoom. In January 2023, we asked the AI bot, ChatGPT, to recommend books to us on the topic of AI. Being an AI doesn't necessarily make the chatbot an expert on AI books, but we thought it might have some ideas. This week we caught up with ChatGPT to find out if there were any new AI books it wanted to recommend in the year since we spoke.
- Top five:-
- AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future by Chen Qiufan & Kai-Fu Lee
- Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence by Kate Crawford
- Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Peter Norvig & Stuart Russell
- The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World by Pedro Domingos
- "Bostrom (Nick) - Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies"
