An insightful, engaging tour by a noted Silicon Valley insider of how accelerating developments in Artificial Intelligence will transform the way we live and work Selected as one of the 10 best science and technology books of 2015 by The Economist After billions of dollars and fifty years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities. Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure — but as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-read for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.

Kaplan, a well-known figure in the computer industry, founded GO Corporation in 1987, and for several years it was one of the hottest new ventures in the Valley. Startup tells the story of Kaplan's wild ride: how he assembled a brilliant but fractious team of engineers, software designers, and investors; pioneered the emerging market for hand-held computers operated with a pen instead of a keyboard; and careened from crisis to crisis without ever losing his passion for a revolutionary idea. Along the way, Kaplan vividly recreates his encounters with eccentric employees, risk-addicted venture capitalists, and industry giants such as Bill Gates, John Sculley, and Mitchell Kapor. And no one - including Kaplan himself - is spared his sharp wit and observant eye.

Nel giro di poco tempo, l’intelligenza artificiale avrà sulle nostre vite un impatto pari a quello della rivoluzione industriale o della nascita del web. Macchine superintelligenti e capaci di apprendere e migliorarsi da sole potranno nei prossimi anni produrre enorme ricchezza e crescita, rischiando però di estromettere proprio gli esseri umani dal mercato del lavoro. L’impatto di queste nuove tecnologie sulla società non sarà peraltro limitato all’economia: sistemi capaci di mostrare (e provare?) emozioni saranno in grado di darci assistenza e conforto, oppure non faranno altro che alienarci dai nostri simili? In questo libro Jerry Kaplan, uno dei massimi esperti mondiali in materia, si presta a farci da guida attraverso i tanti aspetti tecnologici, economici e sociali dell’intelligenza artificiale, scomponendo i concetti di robot, machine learning e lavoro automatizzato, delineando incredibili scenari del nostro futuro più prossimo.

Mr. Kaplan was born in White Plains, New York, United States, on March 25, 1952.
Jerry Kaplan finished University of Chicago, earning his Bachelor of Arts in 1972. In 1979 he became a Doctor of Philosophy, after finishing University of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Kaplan served as a research associate in computer science Stanford University, Stanford, CA, between 1979 and 1981. While at Stanford he wrote the database backend for the first personal computer natural language query system that became the first product of Symantec, called Q&A. In 1981 he co-founded the company Teknowledge, Inc., a publicly traded artificial intelligence company. Jerry Kaplan was hired by Lotus Development Corporation to develop and design software based on Al techniques, working as the company's principal technologist.
While at Lotus he developed Lotus Agenda, an early DOS-based personal information manager along with Ed Belove and Mitchell Kapor. He got the idea for another venture while riding in a plane with Kapor and discussing computer technology and the need for a notebook type computer. This idea led to the founding of GO Corporation.
Mr. Kaplan co-founded GO Corporation in 1987. He believed the next generation of computers would be hand-held digital notepads which people would use a pen to write on the screen instead of typing. The company focused on developing a new type of operating system for tablet computers with touch sensitive screens.
In 2004, Jerry Kaplan launched a new venture called Winster, Inc., a social gaming website with multi-player casual games. Players on the site are encouraged to work with other players to win as opposed to competing against each other, creating a social community leading to friendship amongst players.
Mr. Kaplan is still involved with Stanford University, the school where he began his career. He is a Fellow at The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics and teaches History and Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence in the Computer Science Department.

Mr. Kaplan is also involved in philanthropy and in 1998 donated $250,000 to The Robert and Mary Montgomery Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, Florida in honor of his mother Muriel Kaplan, a former sculpture instructor at the Center. He made a $500,000 gift to the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science in 2001, to endow a chair in honor of faculty member Aravind K. Joshi.
