Will AI take over our jobs, our lives and the world? These were the questions I had about artificial intelligence but was too afraid to ask. Fortunately I didn’t have to. Dream Machine had all the answers. As layout artist on my first graphic novel, I got a sneak peek into the making of this masterpiece by my friend and comic artist @appupen, and his friend and physicist @laurent.daudet. And what a treat it was. Ours is a machine made world. As our lives intertwine more and more with digital intelligences - in our phone, in our car, in our washing machines - Dream Machine helps you take stock of the how it all works. And, more importantly, it acts as a guide for how to interact with these machines that are built on the backs of giant corporations. Snippets from the book to follow…
