Raising AI: How Artificial Intelligence Is Shaping Us--And How We Shape It, (Hardcover)

<p><b>Most AI books either promise utopia or warn of apocalypse. This one does neither.</b> </p><p>We are living through the most consequential technology deployment in human history, yet most of the people making decisions about AI-from judges using it in courtrooms to HR executives screening job candidates-don't actually understand how it works or what could go wrong. AI systems embed the biases, assumptions, and blind spots of their creators, then amplify them at scale across society. </p><p>Chirag Shah has spent his career building intelligent systems-and the last decade explaining them to the people who actually use them. In this book, he challenges us-and himself-to think deeper about how AI learns and why that matters for how we build and use these systems. </p><p>Through vivid encounters with HAL, the Terminator, and TARS, Shah shows how science fiction has shaped our expectations of AI-for better and worse. Using parenting as a metaphor-from strict boundaries to guided autonomy to eventual partnership-he offers three principles for developing AI responsibly as it evolves from narrow tools toward general intelligence. </p><p>Blending science fiction, personal narrative, and frontline experience with decision-makers, Shah delivers something rare: an AI book that educates without lecturing, acknowledges uncertainty without despair, and offers a practical framework for developing AI as it matures. </p><p>Whether you're building these systems, deploying them, interacting with them, or simply living with their consequences, <i>Raising AI</i> is essential reading.</p>
