I would agree that these authors are speaking to a different audience and a different purpose than most authors of pop sci books. I think they want to reach political leaders, businessmen, and regulators to forewarn of the many impacts of adopting deep learning-based “AI” in mainstream commercial, government, and military services. And likely, disruptive impacts, due to the sudden and deep shifts in the status quo that will surely result. Unlike most books to date, this book about AI is not intended for technologists or tech fanboys. When the three authors are the CEO that oversaw the growth of a now-trillion dollar behemoth high tech corporation, and the singly most experienced political counselor of hundreds of world leaders and staffs for the past 50 years, and the Dean of MIT's school of computing — they hope their collective gravitas will speak to a more sober and authoritative audience than prior books on AI.
