We are living in interesting times of technological change. Any talk of artificial intelligence (AI) either evokes a doomsday scenario where machines will take over control of human existence, or it generates what is termed as ‘technooptimism’ where unprecedented levels of resource optimization facilitated by intelligent machines will solve all our problems. This book does neither. The author Joseph Aoun (a professor of linguistics at the Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, USA) follows a sober middle path. He is not a technology forecaster, but provides an incisive analysis of unprecedented changes sweeping through the technology space, its implications for the future of work, and how the education system needs to respond in order to keep pace.
