From the Back Cover

A fascinating and insightful exploration of generative artificial intelligence

Generative AI: Navigating the Course to the Artificial General Intelligence Future is a startlingly incisive new take on the capabilities, potential, and inner workings of generative AI, the technology powering explosively popular tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Bard. Author Martin Musiol explores what generative artificial intelligence has achieved to date and how it’s likely to evolve in the future.

In the book, you’ll find bold, evidence-based predictions – including that different AI models will merge into broader, higher-quality AI that paves the way for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). You’ll also discover the potential upsides and pitfalls of the further development of generative AI, like deepfakes and other misuse, biased models, worker replacement, and even the creation of new forms of work and entirely new labor markets.

An indispensable book for anyone interested in the combination of ethics, technology, business, and society, Generative AI will earn a place in the libraries of tech professionals and general consumers seeking a better, more intuitive understanding of a fascinating novel technology.

From the Inside Flap

Even though generative artificial intelligence has been in development for nearly a decade, platforms like Bard and ChatGPT didn’t burst onto the public scene until 2022. When they finally did, society’s reaction was immediate and powerful. People were – and continue to be – fascinated by the current capabilities and potential of this technology.

In Generative AI: Navigating the Course to the Artificial General Intelligence Future, renowned AI educator and speaker Martin Musiol delivers an expert overview of the short – but eventful – history of generative artificial intelligence including his involvement in the development of many GenAI solutions GenAI Lead at Infosys. In the book, Musiol discusses generative AI’s impressive achievements to date and explores how the technology is likely to evolve in the near future.

The author breaks down complex, but foundational, generative AI concepts into simple and easy-to-understand pieces. You’ll discover the promising future of this relatively novel technology and why it’s likely that different types of models will merge into broader AI models, paving the way for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Autonomous AI Agents.

Generative AI examines artificial intelligence’s potential to transform a wide variety of industries, individuals, and societies. It also offers incisive explorations of the ethical implications of generative AI, including the potential for misuse, biased models, and workforce replacement, as well as the potential upsides, like the creation of new jobs and new ways of working.
