Today, knowing how to speak to artificial intelligence-and how not to-is a skill that everyone needs. Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI, from ChatGPT to Claude, every day, utilizing these machines to organize their finances, plan trips, ask advice, seek therapy, and find love. But most people still find AI difficult to understand and make the most of, or how it can become a fount for dangerous conspiracies, delusions, and psychosis.
In How to Talk to AI, award-winning technology writer Jamie Bartlett takes you inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think. Clarifying AI's evolution, the myriad social implications, and providing real-world examples and helpful approaches, Bartlett crafts a comprehensive yet precise roadmap to a more productive existence with AI.
Chatbots are rapidly transforming society, politics, and business, and are responsible for some of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history. While keeping up with every new iteration of this revolution can be daunting, broadening our understanding of how AI works and how we can utilize it efficiently and safely is now essential practice. Accessible and clear, this book is an empowering guide to making the most of these incredible new technologies, without falling prey to the powers of manipulation.
