  From diagnosing diseases to navigating spacecraft, from challenging us in video games to selling us products on the Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) now affects every aspect of our lives. Over the last fifty years, researchers have created AI systems that are startlingly close to human intelligence in their capabilities, and progress continues to accelerate. This wide-ranging book looks at the origins and applications of AI - in robotics, science, industry, war and entertainment - and explores the exciting implications, and underlying risks, of future AI developments. It includes fact boxes, 'debate' suggestions to stimulate discussion and 'viewpoints' to show people's conflicting views on the subject.
