Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project once consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a 64-year-old computer science professor with a back problem so severe he could not drive or fly. The other was a 36-year-old neuroscientist and chess prodigy. Though they took very different paths, together they helped catapult AI to the forefront of our daily lives and, in the process, created a business worth billions.

Great AI book

The book discusses the tension between folks who believe in artificial general intelligence and those who think that accomplishment is in the distant future. The people debating that point, and doing the research, talked to Metz, and he uses their words directly to explain the different points of view.

This is an excellent history, taking the field right up to the present day. No doubt there will be plenty of fodder for a sequel, in ten or twenty years!
