Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence by Avi Goldfarb, Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans

4.0

 
This has been a fascinating book about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it has impacted our lives and how it could change things in the years to come. Three economists, Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb, wrote this book to help others learn just how much of a game changer AI will be. The authors compare AI’s impact and potential changes to electricity, calling it “the new electricity.” AI has the potential to transform every industry and create huge economic benefits. The way things are done changes with AI which in turn shifts power. This book is full of examples and practical advice to help companies and people learn how to incorporate AI into their lives and work. The authors explain the relationship between AI and power and prediction. A very informative book!
