MEDIA REVIEWS
In his new and uplifting book The AI Economy,Roger Bootle provides tangible grounds for optimism.a well-researched,enjoyable and thoughtful book.A very good read...as an introduction to the debate as a whole,this book is invaluable.Bootle admits from the off that AI was a new topic to him when researching the book,which comes as a relief to the average reader and means we are not bogged down in technical jargon,with tricky concepts explained succinctly and clearly....(Bootle) does not shy away from the fact that AI will be a massively disruptive force on the economy,which will force some workers to find new employment,but The AI Economy is a somewhat reassuring read if you are spooked by the idea that robots will steal all the jobs,or wince at the idea of inserting a microchip under your skin.This book will probably annoy technophiles,not only because of its lack of technological detail but also because it is finely written by a polymath. It will be a long time before a computer can mesh the thoughts of Voltaire,Malthus,Keynes,Dawkins and Harari.
