I'm not worried about machines taking over the world. I'm worried about groupthink, insularity and arrogance in the AI community. Especially with the current hype and demand for people in the field.

Introduction
The recent explosion of artificial intelligence into all corners of modern life has made the industry seem more mysteriously powerful and dangerous than ever.
In Genius Makers, Cade Metz tracks the rise of AI; from its shaky beginnings to the staple of modern technology it is today.
As a technology correspondent for The New York Times, Metz has been following AI and the culture surrounding it for many years. In this book, he turns his wealth of knowledge into a timeline of AI events, from the 1950s to the present day.
Spanning decades and a vast array of rich characters, Genius Makers brings the story of AI to life.
Amusing anecdotes offset and complement technological debates, and the ethical dilemmas they bring. Metz reminds us of the human element of AI, and the cost of ignoring it.
