Machines That Think: How Artificial Intelligence Works and What It Means For Us

The acclaimed bestseller, now in English, from award-winning author Inga Strümke and translator Lena Vatne Bjørlo!

Where does computing stop and thinking begin? And what happens when machines that learn start shaping the way we live, work, and think? AI researcher Inga Strümke tackles these questions and more in this timely and accessible examination of the past, present, and future of AI.

Yet for all its influence, AI remains a mystery to many of us. How does it really work? And what happens when we place more and more of our lives in the hands of machines that “think”?
