Book Launch: Artificially Intelligent by David Eliot

The story of AI isn’t finished yet. The question is: how will you be part of it? With the unprecedented adoption of artificial intelligence and its far-reaching implications, people everywhere are witnessing the world change around them.

David Eliot will present his new book, Artificially Intelligent, which answers today’s most pressing questions about AI – from the fundamental to the futuristic – offering readers a new, informed worldview.

David Eliot is a PhD candidate at the University of Ottawa, where he researches the social and political effects of artificial intelligence. He is a member of the Critical Surveillance Studies Lab, and his work on AI has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2022 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation PhD Scholarship.

Praise for Artificially Intelligent

"Finally, an AI book that informs and inspired, rather than intimidates. Eliot lays out in compelling fashion why all of us, and not just technologists, have a role in shaping the future of AI. Highly accessible, timely, and democratic."

— Jennifer Ewbank, Former Deputy Director of CIA for Digital Innovation

"This engaging and hopeful book offers a culturally and historically rich account of AI's human foundations, weaving distant episodes into a cohesive narrative that remains insightful even to well-informed readers. With keen sensitivity to social impolications, it illuminates how AI is profoundly reshaping society."

— Zsuzsanna Szegedy-Maszak, Curator of Photography, Hungarian National Museum
