Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything? The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of *The AI Con* make clear, are “no,” “they wish,” “LOL,” and “definitely not.” In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity. Packed with real‑world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, *The AI Con* arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power‑grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life.
