Rebooting AI is a refreshing read and a much-needed reality check on the current confusing state of artificial intelligence.
Ben Dickson, TechTalks Newsletter.Rebooting AI offers something for everyone: the scientist
learning about the historical evolution of AI, the sociologist concerned
with AI’s impact on society, the neuroscientist interested in
constructing a replica of the human brain, the anthropologist intrigued
by the naissance of human intelligence, the science fiction writer
searching for a dystopian angle, etc. It is invaluable for a popular
science book to seamlessly unite so many types of readers and incite
joint efforts to answer major questions that pertain to civilization.

Is Deep Learning Overhyped? A Review of Rebooting AI, Randall Mayes, AAI Foresight.
I
believe it was necessary and perhaps timely for some
book to succinctly summarize both the up- and down-sides of the current
state of AI for laypersons ..., and it is not
easy to imagine a better person (or a better team of people) than Gary
and Ernie.
A Short Note on Rebooting AI, Kyunghyun Cho, Professor of Computer Science, New York University
It is a must read. Criticism is the first step towards finding ways to improve stuff and in the era in which the scientific press and media is full of hubris and self congratulatory puff, such critical take is a breath of fresh air.
