New York Times Technology Correspondent Discusses New Book And AI

Book cover for Genius Makers
Dutton

What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create?

In "Genius Makers," New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings the reader into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing. 

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
