Item description from the seller

Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World by Cade Metz is a detailed chronicle of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the brilliant minds that shaped its development. The book traces AI’s journey from an academic field with lofty ideals to a transformative technology that powers the world’s largest tech companies, like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Through the stories of AI pioneers such as Geoffrey Hinton, Demis Hassabis, and Yann LeCun, Metz explores key breakthroughs in machine learning and deep learning, the technologies that have made AI practical and scalable. He also covers the corporate race to acquire AI talent and how AI has revolutionized industries ranging from healthcare to autonomous vehicles. At the heart of Genius Makers is the tension between the benefits of AI and the ethical challenges it poses, such as job displacement, privacy concerns, and the threat of AI being weaponized. Metz emphasizes both the excitement surrounding AI’s potential and the caution required in its rapid development. With a focus on the personal stories of AI's pioneers, the book blends human drama with technological innovation, offering a thorough, thought-provoking look at how AI is reshaping the world.
