How to Talk to AI

The most important conversations of your life

Within 5 years the most important conversations you have won’t be with the people around you. They will be with increasingly smart machines that are integrated into every aspect of your personal and professional life. It’s already happening.

Artificial intelligences – not other humans – are becoming our trusted companions: we increasingly rely on them to assist with work, advise on our finances, guide our relationships, act as our therapist, and plan our social lives.

Those who can talk well with machines will see their lives transformed. Better jobs, better relationships, wiser investments. Those that can’t will be left behind.

But speaking with machines is not like speaking with other humans. They don’t think like us, and they don’t respond like us. This book will show you how to communicate properly with these powerful new companions. And in doing so, stay ahead of the revolution.
