Artificial Intelligence will create gigantic benefits for humankind but will become more powerful than many governments, with purposes and plans of its own, and the ability to alter the very basis of life on earth. Many believe that AI poses a threat to human dominance.

In this punchy follow-up to his bestselling The Future of (Almost) Everything, leading futurist Patrick Dixon has written an in-depth but accessible exploration of AI, looking at the future of the subject and assessing both threats and benefitsโ€”from health and education to cybersecurity, business, and the world of work.

How AI Will Change Your Life looks at likely outcomes for both individuals and businesses in all areas of life. The book provides advice for the reader and a charter for governments to exploit the benefits and avoid the risks.
