Vasant Dhar, Ph.D., is a distinguished professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and the Center for Data Science at New York University, and the author of Thinking With Machines: The Brave New World of AI, an essential guidebook for navigating our rapidly evolving AI landscape. Drawing from over four decades of research and insights from his “Brave New World” podcast and newsletter, as well as his practical experience bringing machine learning to Wall Street in the early ’90s, Dhar offers readers an authentic and comprehensive understanding of this transformative technology, with a balanced approach to AI’s promise and peril. Sometimes referred to as one of the OGs of AI, Dhar tells his story and the lessons that it reveals as readers learn about AI’s progress and reversals, its promises and dangers, and what we need to address before the machine gets away from us.
