'AI appears to be eating the world. How then to understand where this is taking us, both the promises and the threats? This book is for you. A down-to-earth tour that will help you understand how the algorithms are increasingly taking on human roles.'
Toby Walsh, Chief Scientist at the UNSW AI Institute and author of Faking It and Machines Behaving Badly
'AI and algorithms are reshaping our world at an unprecedented pace, with buzzwords like neural networks, deep learning and transformers dominating the headlines. But what significance do these terms hold for you? Professor Kowalkiewicz's eagerly awaited book provides clear and accessible answers to this question.'
Chong Wang, AI Research scientist, Apple
'A very accessible book for anyone interested in the long-term opportunities for businesses, individuals and society as technology penetrates ever more corners of the economy and our lives ... enlightening, informative and encouraging.'

This is the book I will, from now on, recommend to anyone who wants to understand the implications that a new generation of AI-powered algorithms will have on human society and how to best work together with them.'
Tobias Lange, Senior Vice President, Siemens
'This book is right on time for us to understand more of the good, the bad and the ugly of algorithms. An eye-opener about how ubiquitous digital helpers and algorithms have become in our daily lives.'

'This is a fantastic and timely book about the opportunities and risks of algorithms ... It concludes with a series of much-needed recommendations that provide guidance on how we can all learn to live and prosper with our digital minions.'
Jonathan Reichental, author of Smart Cities for Dummies

Rohit Bhargava, author of Non-Obvious Megatrends
'An essential read for those looking to future-proof their careers in the face of AI's advancement and in an era of relentless change.'
Diana Wu David, author of Future Proof

For claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we shall always be liable without limitation - in the event of injury to life, limb or health - in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty - in the event of warranty promises, insofar as agreed, or - insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened.

10. dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers have the possibility to use this platform for the settlement of their disputes.
To settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or whether such a contractual relationship exists at all, we are obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. The responsible body is the Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes am Zentrum für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, www.verbraucher-schlichter.de. We will participate in a dispute resolution procedure before this body.
11. protection of minors
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. The delivery person will hand over the goods only after the age check has been carried out and only to the customer in person.
Delivery to packing stations is not possible in this case.
