Raising AI: An Essential Guide to Parenting Our Future

An insightful and authoritative guide to AI and how we shape its future, from De Kai, best known for building the world’s first global-scale online language translator that spawned Google Translate, Yahoo Translate and Microsoft Bing. The emphasis here is on charting a course away from cataclysmic thinking, and instead towards the positive disruption AI can bring as a field of scientific thought. Just as children pick up behaviours in their parenting, De Kai argues for modelling good behaviour for AIs to learn, because “AIs are analog brains that learn by copying their elders and peers and need to be nurtured”.
