Emerging Tech Brew - ☕️ Your guide to AI

Good afternoon. This is Ryan, coming to you live with a special non-newsletter edition. Today we’re launching the second installment of our Emerging Tech Brew Guide series.

These guides dig into the key concepts, players, and data surrounding a specific emerging technology.

Our topic du jour: What is AI? An excellent question, but one that’s difficult to answer. In fact, it took me a few thousand words to get there—but for now, all you need to know is that it's not what you've seen on TV.

In The Human’s Handbook to Computers that Think, I break down: 

• How to conduct your own AI sniff tests
• A 70-year historical timeline, including AI winter and a deep learning renaissance in the 2010s
• Definitions of key tools and techniques, from machine learning to neural nets
• Researchers’ priorities
• 14 most-impacted industries
• The geopolitics, economics, and social impacts of AI

Find the full free guide here. If you dig it, share the Brew’s AI magnum opus far and wide.
