What a person does in a few hours or days, in some cases even a lifetime, an AI can do in a few minutes, even seconds. Artificial intelligence permeates all areas of our lives: transportation, industry, medicine, commerce, finance, education, law. Human civilization is in a qualitatively new era of transformations and historical development, the 4th industrial revolution. Artificial intelligence fundamentally transforms people's way of life and perception of the world, reshapes the labor market.

Scientists hope that thanks to artificial intelligence, we will be able to solve global problems: find cures for deadly diseases, overcome the low level of education in some regions, explore the oceans and space. But the use of a generative neural network can also have negative consequences, since many of its work processes are incomprehensible to humans. The authors of the book discuss the possibilities and problems of artificial intelligence. They explain radical historical changes, the perception of the world and our role in it.

This book will help to understand the present to assess the future impact of artificial intelligence.
