- More about Machines that Think: Everything you need to know about the coming age of artificial intelligence
The intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power in the future, leading to a potential AI-pocalypse or utopia. Machines are already interacting with us daily, and driverless cars are on the roads. This book explores how artificial intelligence helps us understand human intelligence, machines that compose music and write stories, and asks if AI is a threat.

Sometime in the future, the intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power. This has led to speculation about whether we are on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity as predicted by Stephen Hawking. Alternatively, it could herald a kind of utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us.
You might not realize it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions, and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads, with a decision-making computer in charge.
But how do machines actually think and learn? In "Machines That Think," AI experts and "New Scientist" explore how artificial intelligence helps us understand human intelligence, machines that compose music and write stories, and ask if AI is really a threat.
