Raising AI: How Artificial Intelligence Is Shaping Us—and How We Shape It
Autor Chirag Shahen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 ian 2026
We are living through the most consequential technology deployment in human history, yet most of the people making decisions about AI-from judges using it in courtrooms to HR executives screening job candidates-don't actually understand how it works or what could go wrong. AI systems embed the biases, assumptions, and blind spots of their creators, then amplify them at scale across society.
Chirag Shah has spent his career building intelligent systems-and the last decade explaining them to the people who actually use them. In this book, he challenges us-and himself-to think deeper about how AI learns and why that matters for how we build and use these systems.
Through vivid encounters with HAL, the Terminator, and TARS, Shah shows how science fiction has shaped our expectations of AI-for better and worse. Using parenting as a metaphor-from strict boundaries to guided autonomy to eventual partnership-he offers three principles for developing AI responsibly as it evolves from narrow tools toward general intelligence.
Blending science fiction, personal narrative, and frontline experience with decision-makers, Shah delivers something rare: an AI book that educates without lecturing, acknowledges uncertainty without despair, and offers a practical framework for developing AI as it matures.
Whether you're building these systems, deploying them, interacting with them, or simply living with their consequences, Raising AI is essential reading.

Recenzii
I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a genuine exploration of artificial intelligence beyond the headlines. Complex topics are brilliantly simplified, transformers are likened to an attentive party guest, and AI transparency is explained using an example of a child doing Algebra. Shah brings the book to life by weaving in personal stories and pop culture references, making it insightful and truly enjoyable to read.
You can raise kids - can you raise an AI? In Chirag Shah's vision for our future in a world with ever more rapidly evolving AI, we not only can, we must. Shah proposes a path forward in which we nurture and teach AI as we do our children. Sometimes with a stick, sometimes with a carrot, but building towards a brighter future and learning about ourselves in the process. Shah conveys his vision through a series of entertaining and accessible stories from sci-fi blockbusters, real-life examples of AI helping and hurting us, and his personal journey as an AI researcher and as a parent.
What if the most important question about AI isn't what it can do - but how we raise it? Drawing on nearly three decades of research and real-world engagement with industry and policy, this distinguished professor offers a compelling argument that building AI responsibly is less like engineering and more like parenting - not about control, but about instilling the right values. Neither alarmist nor naively optimistic, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand - and shape - what comes next.
This book goes beyond the technology-it challenges us to reflect on the values, trade-offs, and responsibilities that come with building intelligent systems. Shah beautifully captures the truth many of us in this space are grappling with: AI is not just something we are creating, it is something that is shaping us in return. From questions of bias and fairness to the deeper moral dilemmas AI systems face, the book reminds us that intelligence alone is not enough-we must intentionally design for alignment with human values.
