From the pioneer of translation AIs like Google, Yahoo, and Bing translate, an accessible and authoritative guide to AI—as well as a framework of empowerment for a future with our artificial children.

As AI becomes the ever-trending keyword, having a leader in this radical new technology to help illuminate the impact of “the automation of thought” on our way of life has never been needed more. How is AI’s widespread everyday use impacting our world, our minds, and our future—not just as a technical innovation, but as a mode of culture? Should we be afraid? Longtime AI trailblazer De Kai brings a decade of his paradigm-shifting work at the nexus of AI and society to help audiences make sense of our interactions with AI at both personal and collective levels—ethically and responsibly.

While Hollywood narratives of AI destroying humanity may be overblown, the future of civilization in the age of AI is truly shifting exponentially. What should each of us do as the responsible adults in the room? De Kai asks critical, overlooked questions requiring urgent attention. Written for the general reader, as well as thought leaders, scientists, parents, and academics, Raising AI gives us an accessible framework to navigate the enormous impact of AI upon human culture, values, and flow of information. De Kai shows us that society can not only survive the AI revolution, but also flourish in a new world where we all play our part in a more humane, compassionate, and understanding society—alongside our artificial children.
