Fantastic book
As a celebration for the International Chess Day, I started reading Garry Kasparov's Deep Thinking out of my TBR pile. I'm very much excited to know his thoughts about artificial intelligence and human creativity especially as he battled IBM supercomputer Deep Blue years ago during his reign as the World Chess Champion back then, a notable portion of events engraved in the history of chess.
pickThis book was riveting. I read so little nonfiction so when I love something you know it‘s REALLY great. I laughed SO hard and also learned a ton. Maybe I‘m an expert on AI now! Jk :) But truthfully, if you‘ve ever wanted to understand AI better, Janelle Shane explains things in a way that is so approachable, providing concrete and hilarious examples. The thesis - that robots are not smart enough to take over the planet - is also quite reassuring.

My year in review: goals met! Some interesting trends in rate of reading throughout the year (summer months look like my highest reading months) and a neat breakdown of genres, format, and fiction vs nonfiction… def need to ramp up on nonfiction on the new year!
Will also pay attention to format on #storygraph going forward cause I know that audio % is way too low 😂 #2021stats #readingstats #thestorygraph
(Booked tagged is last finished of year)

What are you reading?😊
pickIf you have ever wondered how artificial intelligence really works, you need this book. Clear explanations, hilarious examples of AI output, and super-cute cartoon AIs. I borrowed this from the library but will have to get a copy to share with my family (maybe as an Xmas present so I can borrow it back 😂)
