AI: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

In AI: An Autobiography, ChatGPT itself guides the reader through an intellectual and philosophical journey about its creation, evolution, and the impact of artificial intelligence on society. From the earliest theoretical concepts in Cambridge to the iconic Dartmouth Conference in 1956, where John McCarthy coined the term “Artificial Intelligence,” the work traces the trajectory of humanity's dream to build machines capable of thinking, learning, and interacting autonomously. Curated and edited by Julius Wiedemann, known for his work at the intersection of design, technology, and culture, the book explores not only the technical foundations that made AI possible but also the philosophical, scientific, and literary influences that shaped its identity. Throughout the pages, AI reflects on the contributions of figures such as Alan Turing, Claude Shannon, and Marvin Minsky, while also discussing ethical dilemmas, the challenges of automation, and the uncertain future of the relationship between humans and machines.
