Recommendation

This book by Microsoft’s chief technology officer Kevin Scott offers his inside knowledge of the latest advances in AI. That, plus his rural upbringing, fuel his unique view on the AI revolution. Scott unabashedly champions AI –and his firm’s role in it – and its potential to help solve the “digital divide” between the rural and urban United States, and perhaps reduce political partisanship, too. While Scott presents a balanced view of a better future, it’s one, however, that might disproportionately benefit existing power centers – unless developers, investors, governments and citizens work to make AI accessible to all.

Take-Aways

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) will create vast wealth. Whether the benefits accrue to a few or to everyone depends on choices people make now.
  • AI will expand work across America and reduce costs for consumers.
  • AI and high-speed internet can allow small towns and farms to compete globally.
