150 GOOD QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT ESG
Things you should know about ESG
(publish date May 2024)
"As a child I loved my "1000 whys and 1000 therefores" book. I have attempted to rebuild it here, but with AI as the only topic. This book is a sort of encyclopedia about AI for anyone. I have collected the latest 100+ questions asked by attendees at my AI lectures, and answered them here as best I could. I hope it will help you get started with this important and complex subject in an easy way. Just pick the questions you are curious about, and learn a little every day."

THE BOOK
The book is primarily intended for teenagers, but I suspect it may be just as useful for grownups from any industry and background, who are wondering about this mystical thing called AI that everyone is talking about but very few understand. It is a hype, but it will change everything. It will change the way we work, the way we learn, the way we communicate. And it will challenge us in new ways. In order to be a part of this transformation of our society, it is important to understand the fundamental forces and be proactive. You can’t stop the wave, but you can learn to surf.
The questions are not ordered by any principles, and there are more than a few techy questions – that’s just how we talked about this subject. You can pick and choose the questions that are interesting to you. For every answer there is a short analogy, a story that can help you remember the dry and boring facts. And for every story there is an illustration, to make your reading and thinking more fun.
