This one does neither.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are living through the most consequential technology deployment in human history, yet most of the people making decisions about AI-from judges using it in courtrooms to HR executives screening job candidates-don't actually understand how it works or what could go wrong. AI systems embed the biases, assumptions, and blind spots of their creators, then amplify them at scale across society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChirag Shah has spent his career building intelligent systems-and the last decade explaining them to the people who actually use them. In this book, he challenges us-and himself-to think deeper about how AI learns and why that matters for how we build and use these systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough vivid encounters with HAL, the Terminator, and TARS, Shah shows how science fiction has shaped our expectations of AI-for better and worse. Using parenting as a metaphor-from strict boundaries to guided autonomy to eventual partnership-he offers three principles for developing AI responsibly as it evolves from narrow tools toward general intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending science fiction, personal narrative, and frontline experience with decision-makers, Shah delivers something rare: an AI book that educates without lecturing, acknowledges uncertainty without despair, and offers a practical framework for developing AI as it matures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you're building these systems, deploying them, interacting with them, or simply living with their consequences, \u003ci\u003eRaising AI\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChirag Shah\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Information and Computer Science at the University of Washington, Seattle, where he founded the InfoSeeking Lab and co-founded the Center for Responsibility in AI Systems \u0026amp; Experiences (RAISE).
