ByteByteGo quickly became a household name in the tech visual/micro learning area thanks to its clear, digestible and straight to the point visual explanatinos of complex technical concepts. This book is what lead to its creation in the first place.

And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive?
This is a book about machine learning and human values: about systems that learn from data without being explicitly programmed, and about how exactly—and what exactly—we are trying to teach them.
