Artificial intelligence (AI) and the dramatic ways it affects the general public is being considered of such necessary knowledge to Australians, that it is being introduced to the small screen. Local Australian/Sri Lankan TV station called Aus Lanka is introducing a series hosted by the best-selling author of Embrace—The Pursuit of Happiness through AI, Prabash Galagedara.
The series will cover different topics about AI (from the book) and describe what it means for you, an ordinary citizen. Recording for the series will begin within the next two-three weeks.
The book was launched in July, and includes AI’s recent involvement in areas such as wealth, cybersecurity, job-seeking, facial recognition, health, deepfake, beauty and the future of cars. The book masterfully takes a deep dive into AI and its workings, and acknowledges that the innovation of technology has long been an accepted developing facet of our modern life.
“When I was a young boy, my life was very different to that of my children. I was 11 when my Dad brought home our first television: a 12-inch black and white unit that adorned our living area. I was thoroughly excited to join much of the UK in watching the ‘event of the century’ – Charles and Diana marry,” Prabash said.
“Now technology has filtered into every aspect of our lives. The creators are spending trillions of dollars and employing the best minds to outsmart us, the citizens. If we don’t understand how we are affected by AI in its various forms, we have no chance in using it productively and to our benefit. Worse than that, we may be taken advantage of by others who use AI to steal our time, our identity, our money, possibly even our lives.”
The book is an easy to read, accessible guide to understanding AI and Prabash has filled the book with examples and case studies of how A1 is impacting various areas of our lives, in unimaginable ways.
In this easy to manage guide, and the TV series, Prabash expresses the importance of being an informed participant in the world that AI has created, and is continuously being developed. One where we citizens can use the power of AI to our benefit, rather than the other way around.
“AI is gaining momentum. It is in our lives everywhere. To the amazement of most, it is infiltrating every facet of livelihood. This is why we need to know and understand A1, where it is and where it’s going, before it knows us.”
Embrace—The Pursuit of Happiness through AI is now available for purchase from Amazon and other online bookstores.
