What the Telegraph said
“Dixon gives us plenty to think about: AI’s role in surveillance; AI’s role in intellectual freedom and copyright; AI’s role in warfare; AI’s role in human obsolescence. His exhaustive list runs to over two dozen chapters. Business types will enjoy Dixon’s meticulous lists and his willingness to argue both sides against the middle.”
