Artificially Intelligent places humans at the centre of AI’s story, making a compelling case for the role we have yet to play in technology’s transformation of our world.

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. Artificially Intelligent answers today’s most pressing questions about AI – from the fundamental to the futuristic – offering readers a new, informed worldview.
In an age of unparalleled innovation and change, artificial intelligence has become the heart of our fears, discussions, and debates. Thus, AI researcher and award-winner David Eliot takes readers on a journey through the key moments and decisions that have shaped its creation and our world. A socially driven history, the book explores its technical breakthroughs and the social forces that made them possible.
But this book isn’t just about the past – it’s about you. Artificially Intelligent invites readers to find their place in the story of AI, to understand its impact on their lives, and to decide what kind of future they want to help create.
Artificially Intelligent tells the story of the technology the way it was meant to be told: not as an exhaustive retelling of history, nor as a prophecy of doom and gloom, but as a human story that is not yet complete.

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.
