Description
"This colorful page-turner puts artificial intelligence into a human perspective. Through the lives of Geoff Hinton and other major players, Metz explains this transformative technology and makes the quest thrilling." (Walter Isaacson, author of The Code Breaker)
Recipient of starred reviews in both Kirkus and Library Journal
The Untold Tech Story of Our Time
What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create?
With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing.
Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a 64-year-old computer science professor who didn’t drive and didn’t fly because he could no longer sit down - but still made his way across North America for the moment that would define a new age of technology. The other was a 36-year-old neuroscientist and chess prodigy who laid claim to being the greatest game player of all time before vowing to build a machine that could do anything the human brain could do.
They took two very different paths to that lofty goal, and they disagreed on how quickly it would arrive. But both were soon drawn into the heart of the tech industry. Their ideas drove a new kind of arms race, spanning Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and OpenAI, a new lab founded by Silicon Valley kingpin Elon Musk. But some believed that China would beat them all to the finish line.
Genius Makers dramatically presents the fierce conflict among national interests, shareholder value, the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the very human concerns about privacy, security, bias, and prejudice. Like a great Victorian novel, this world of eccentric, brilliant, often unimaginably yet suddenly wealthy characters draws you into the most profound moral questions we can ask. And like a great mystery, it presents the story and facts that lead to a core, vital question:
How far will we let it go?
Commentaires
"A ringside seat at what may turn out to be the pivotal episode in human history.... Metz has a breezy style that is easy and fun to read.... Undeniably charming." (Forbes)
"Unlike many of the books written about AI, you don’t need a science or engineering degree to learn from and enjoy this one. Anyone with an enthusiastic curiosity about science, technology and the future of human culture will find this clear-eyed, snappily written book both entertaining and valuable. You could even call it essential for any policymakers, politicians, police, lawyers, judges and decision-makers who will be contending with the social forces unleashed by artificial intelligence. Which, soon, will mean all of them." (The Los Angeles Times)
"[An] engaging new book.... [Metz’s] straightforward writing perfectly translates industry jargon for technologically un-savvy readers (like me) who might be unfamiliar with what it means for a machine to engage in “deep learning” or master tasks through its own experiences." (Christian Science Monitor)
"Carving a narrative out of a complex and ever-changing cast of characters...the book is filled with enlightening anecdotes that add texture and drama to the story. Genius Makers opens with Geoffrey Hinton, the Brit turned Canadian who is widely recognized as having played the most critical role in developing deep learning, the branch of AI that is changing the world today." (Washington Post)

difficult listen
The theme is to explain to non-experts what artificial intelligence is in 2021. Metz tells a stories about the "AI Movement," each chapter a standalone citing notable people and detailing the systems they've been building. Narration is an exemplar of pacing, really moves you forward.
Chapters range in length from 16 to 40 minutes, each a separate narrative. I advise to treat each chapter as a formal lecture. With the partial exception of Geoffrey Hinton, you're not getting much background on any of the geniuses. I didn't feel strong emotion connection to anybody cited so this clearly doesn't fall into the same category as a Michael Lewis book.
I believe we the listening public are waiting for visceral books having to do with AI that'll make us feel goosebumps and even cry. But this is essentially a survey course. Metz makes aspects of AI more accessible and you can take what he says to the bank. If you were looking for a memoir or biography, I think you'd be at peril of wanting your credit back.

Loved it!
Informative. Entertaining. Gives me a lot to consider. Fantastic narration. Apparently my review needs 15 words. Shame on you Audible. Mark Twain is rolling in his grave!

All story, no technical details
It's a well-told and entertaining history of AI, but not comprehensive or technical in any way.
If you are anything like me, you also prefer books with more meat; but this one will partially satiate that insatiable desire for such rare finds.
The narration was great.

Great Story but Tough Listen
The book is a terrific overview of the origins of AI - the players, the companies, the technology - and it's a fascinating story. Unfortunately the narrator drops his voice at the end of the sentence, which is usually where the most important word is. Granted, I'm in my 60's, so my hearing isn't the best, but the point is that his volume is inconsistent, so if you turn the sound up he's shouting through the sentence, then dropping his voice at the end to normal levels. And it's Every. Single. Sentence. VERY frustrating. Narraters should adopt a uniform volume for their reading. I listen when I'm walking, or working out, or cleaning the house, so there is often competing noise. Dropping his voice at the end is not dramatic, it's annoying. Buy the title - it's really good - but you'll be hitting the rewind button a lot. Just sayin'.

Story not substance
Great story about the history of AI to the present. You can learn about artificial intelligence and the nomenclature, but it’s more of a story than purely educational. The author seems to have TDS, but if you look past that it’s a great book.

Compilation of several decades information on AGI
What a collective information on this AI field. Nicely narrated, from the beginning till end. I couldn’t stop after I casually started few pages. Lots to explore from this book. Thanks 👍

Brilliant writing and research, and brilliant biographies
Cade has written a brilliant, thoughtful, and thoroughly researched book on the history of AI.
I relished all the intriguing stories, profound insights, and succinct yet fascinating biographies of remarkable men and women at their finest moment—their determined, successful quest to develop artificial intelligence.
This book is especially timely, as AI has pervaded our society in recent months and will continue to do so in the years to come.
