Sample Book Insights:

#1 In May 2017, a Chinese teenager named Ke Jie was pitted against one of the world’s most intelligent machines, AlphaGo, in a battle to save humanity.

#2 When the Soviet Union launched the first human-made satellite into orbit in October 1957, it had an instant and profound effect on the American psyche and government policy. The event sparked widespread U. S. public anxiety about perceived Soviet technological superiority, which led to the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

#3 In China, the government issued a plan to build artificial intelligence capabilities. It called for greater funding, policy support, and national coordination for AI development. By 2017, Chinese venture-capital investors had already responded to that call, pouring record sums into artificial intelligence startups.

#4 The Ke Jie versus AlphaGo match was played within the constraints of a Go board, but it is intimately tied up with dramatic changes in the real world. Those changes include the Chinese AI frenzy that AlphaGo’s matches sparked.
