Ask Martin · About the book
Won’t a book about AI be out of date in a year?
Some examples will age. Questions about purpose, evidence and responsibility last longer; the reader materials give us room to keep exploring.
Some examples and descriptions of tools will age. They already changed several times while I was writing.
The book’s foundation is more durable: understanding your purpose, examining evidence, explaining a connection and deciding how to work with someone or something else. Those practices were useful before chatbots arrived.
The Reader’s Companion gives us a place to add exercises and revisit examples as the technology changes.
