as a tutorial to understand the growing importance of policy
related to AI, policy in both the public and private sectors." -
Forbes
“We are entering a new world: a world where artificial intelligence
has enormous impacts in every aspects of our lives. Should we be
excited or worried about this brave new world? Or perhaps a bit of
both? In this timely, evocative, and thought-provoking book,
Darrell West and John Allen argue the answer to this question will
depend on the regulatory and policy choices we make as we exploit
AI in business, health, transportation, and other sectors. They
then offer recommendations to shape these coming choices. In the
process, they provide the perfect balance to books that focus more
on the technology of AI and less on the practical impact the
technology will have. Highly recommended!” —Robert Work, former
deputy secretary of defense
“In a world of AI, machine learning, and data analytics, it is
important to have technologies that serve human interests and
respect human values. West and Allen have written a comprehensive
account that explains what AI is, outlines its virtues and risks,
and shows how to move forward into a world of human-centered
technology. Their governance and policy blueprint lays out creative
steps to safeguard humanity's future.” —Fei-Fei Li, Stanford
University
“Fears of artificial intelligence have prompted warnings of 'the
end of the human race' and 'summoning the demon.' West and Allen's
new book, Turning Point, provides a compelling and clear-headed
explanation and analysis of the promise and perils and what we all
need to do to keep it under control. Anyone who wants a deeper
understanding of this new frontier should read this book.” —Jake
Tapper, CNN
“AI is transforming education, healthcare, and warfare, and raising
a host of political, ethical, and policy questions. There hasn't
been an authoritative unified analysis of these myriad questions.
Until now. This timely book by West and Allen not only poses the
questions in an informed fashion but proposes thoughtful policy
responses. The book is nothing short of a roadmap for our AI
future.” —Oren Etzioni, University of Washington
