AI snake oil : what artificial intelligence can do, what it can't, and how to tell the difference

Narayanan, Arvind2024
Books, Manuscripts
While acknowledging the potential of some AI, such as ChatGPT, 'AI Snake Oil' uncovers rampant misleading claims about the capabilities of AI and describes the serious harms AI is already causing in how it's being built, marketed, and used in areas such as education, medicine, hiring, banking, insurance, and criminal justice. The book explains the crucial differences between types of AI, why organizations are falling for AI snake oil, why AI can't fix social media, why AI isn't an existential risk, and why we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than about anything AI will do on its own.
