Book Description

A penetrating guide to artificial intelligence: what it is, what it does, and how it will change our lives

At a breathtaking pace, artificial intelligence is getting better and faster at making complex decisions. AI can already identify malignant tumors on CT scans, give legal advice, out-bluff the best poker players in the world, and, with ever-increasing skill, drive our cars.

In Who's Afraid of AI?, award-winning author Thomas Ramge expertly explains how machines are learning to learn, and he questions what today's explosion of AI capability could mean for tomorrow:

  • Is it ethical to allow robots--endlessly patient--to replace human caregivers in providing comfort and companionship to the elderly?
  • Since AI feeds on big data, can we prevent its misuse by corporations or the government?
  • Will AI ever be capable of runaway self-improvement? And if the singularity does arrive, with AI's intelligence exponentially outpacing our own, what will become of us when, in many ways, we're obsolete?

Who's Afraid of Ai?: Fear and Promise in the Age of Thinking Machines

Author Bio

I am a non-fiction book author, keynote speaker and moderator of public events.

My journalistic and academic work at brand eins, The Economist and Weizenbaum Institute connects the dots between technology, its impact on business, work and its overall consequences for society and policy-making.

My books and texts have been honored with several awards, including the  Axiom Business Book Award 2019, the getAbstract International Book Award 2018, the Financial Times Business Book Award, the Herbert Quandt Media Award, the ADC Award and the Best of Corporate Publishing Award. 


Over the past 15 years, I have written more than a dozen books, including the Spiegel bestseller The Flicks, the handbooks In Data We Trust and Smart Data and, together with Erik Spiekermann, a bestselling book on design thinking. In 2014 I published my first novel about the good life (and the bad life) in large corporations.

Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data, which I co-authored with Oxford professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, has been translated into 20 languages and has stimulated a worldwide debate on data monopolies.  

My newest book in English, a short and comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence, hit the shelves in 2019.
