Hello World

<b>Shortlisted for the 2018 Baillie Gifford Prize and the 2018 Royal Society Investment Science Book Prize<br> <br> "A beautifully accessible guide.…One of the best books yet written on data and algorithms." —<i>Times</i> (UK) </b><br><p>When it comes to artificial intelligence, we either hear of a paradise on earth or of our imminent extinction. It’s time we stand face-to-digital-face with the true powers and limitations of the algorithms that already automate important decisions in healthcare, transportation, crime, and commerce. <i>Hello World</i> is indispensable preparation for the moral quandaries of a world run by code, and with the unfailingly entertaining Hannah Fry as our guide, we’ll be discussing these issues long after the last page is turned.</p>
