I just bought the Kindle version of the book.
Having downloaded the free, I had just read the index when realized that I needed to know what Stephen Hawking's take on Artificial Intelligence (or AI) was. (So out went the sample and in came the full version of the book...)
Since Stephen's passing away, there have been some quite dramatic advancements in machine learning and AI.
At the moment, it is all the rage.
But Stephen Hawking has a few words of caution... and I quote from the book:
"It’s tempting to dismiss the notion of highly intelligent machines as mere science fiction, but this would be a mistake, and potentially our worst mistake ever."
