With humor, diagrams, and plentiful examples, De Kai takes readers below the surface of popular chatbots and search engines to the broad field of scientific inquiry living at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and computer science, reflecting researchers’ observations about human intelligence...Ultimately, this primer argues that the stakes are high, the situation is urgent, and we all have a role to play. By engaging with AI consciously and ethically, we can help shape better systems—by first calling forth our better selves. A deeply human dive into the AIs that are transforming our world.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRaising AI \u003c\/i\u003eis a compelling treatise grounded in studies of ethics and technology that charts a path toward greater understanding between biological and artificial intelligences.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"De Kai, a “pioneer of translation AIs,” is a worthy guide to the dangers and possibilities of the technology.
