'If your brain tends to seize up with fear or incomprehension at the mention of AI, this concise and entertaining history is for you' SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

Since Alan Turing asked 'Can machines think?' artificial intelligence has grown from a pipe dream into a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this journey, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to Deep Blue's shocking defeat of chess world champion Garry Kasparov and the recent barnstorming emergence of ChatGPT.

This expert, illuminating book distils AI into six key ideas, equipping readers to understand where we have been - and where we may be heading.
