Six ideas to understand artificial intelligence today Since Alan Turing first posed the question, 'Can machines think?', artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to IBM's groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AI's cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and 2001- A Space Odyssey. Revealing how many 'overnight' successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book simplifies AI into six key ideas, equipping readers to understand where we've been - and where we're headed. 'This history of AI in six simple ideas is so informative and easy to digest. Essential reading'-Dr Karl Kruszelnicki 'One of the world's brightest minds takes on one of the world's biggest topics ... Delicious!'-Adam Spencer
