The Teenage Guide to Artificial Intelligence
The Teenage Guide to Artificial Intelligence is a literary odyssey tracing the footsteps of visionaries who dreamt of creating intelligence beyond human bounds. It delves into the threefold objectives of AI, unearthing the quest for understanding, enhancing, and replicating human intellect.
Rather than portraying artificial intelligence as an enigmatic novelty, the book presents it as a technological marvel rooted in statistics, human physiology, and psychology, yet endowed with astonishing capabilities that eclipse the sum of its foundational elements. It navigates the evolution of AI, probing into the quintessence of ‘intelligence’ within synthetic constructs.
The narrative escorts the reader through the intricate maze of the human neural network, drawing parallels with artificial neural networks that have surreptitiously permeated every aspect of our lives. It juxtaposes the remarkable faculties of the human brain against artificial neural networks and addresses the inherent biases in AI concerning gender, race, and religion.
Particular emphasis is placed on large language models such as ChatGPT and the critical concepts of ethics, alignment, agency, and attention that are pivotal to the future of AI. In its concluding chapters, the book unveils a prophetic vision of the future, where the specter of superintelligence looms, and AI surpasses human intellect. It contemplates the ‘Singularity,’ a point of no return where AI transcends human comprehension and control, heralding a new era in the saga of intelligence.
