About Book
The potentially transformative impact of AI on humans and society underscores the need for this book, to contextualize and address public concerns about its possible risks and benefits. The book delves into:
1. The history of AI from automatons like Talos the bronze giant killer-robot in Greek mythology, to the ingenious inventions of the Alexandrian Engineers, and Leonardo da Vinci’s robot knight, to Turing’s WWII code breaking machines and Weizenbaum’s ELIZA in the 1960s;
2. Global and regional strategies and frameworks for AI governance, which include: the OECD AI Principles; UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI; NIST AI RMF; ISO 42001; and the EU AI Act;
3. National efforts (laws, policies and AI readiness rating) of the US, UK, Canada, China, India, Japan, Singapore, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand;
4. AI challenges and emerging trends, like: Agentic AI, AI Hallucinations, Algorithmic bias, Black box problem, Data problem, AI in Healthcare, AI and Law Practice, AI Literacy, AI Red Teaming, and TESCREALism; and
