My review of Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor’s new book, AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference is available at LLRX.com. The bottom line:

 AI Snake Oil is a crucial guide for navigating the complex and often misleading landscape of artificial intelligence. It is essential reading for lawyers and policymakers struggling to make sense of how to deal with AI. It belongs on the shortlist with Ethan Mollick’s Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI and Richard Susskind’s How to Think About AI: A Guide for the Perplexed.
