Publisher Description
A simple, enduring framework for understanding the complex world of AI and machine learning.
“Before you can get machines to do what you want, you’d better learn to speak their language. John Maeda engineers rapprochement between humans and our computational creations in this engaging, enlightening book.”
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human
As the capabilities of AI and language models like ChatGPT continue to advance, it is more important than ever to understand the implications and potential pitfalls of these technologies.
In this book, John Maeda draws on his extensive experience as one of the world's preeminent interdisciplinary thinkers on technology and design to provide actionable guidance for businesses, product designers, and policymakers.
Using thoughtful explorations and occasionally whimsical examples, he identifies a framework that describes the key capabilities and pitfalls of any machine learning system, and offers a vision for how they can be used to create inclusive and world-changing products.
This is essential reading for anyone seeking a high-level understanding of how machines “think” and what the future may hold.
Customer Reviews
Cannot recommend
I cannot recommend this to anyone who grew up during the DOS era and has had a career in technology and design. I felt like I was listening to my out of touch college professors telling dad jokes again.
If you’re only peripherally interested in design and technological and do not plan a career of either, then maybe you will find this book interesting. If you wish you had Design and Technology for Dummies, this might be close.
