Over the past few decades, a bunch of smart guys built artificial intelligence systems that have had deep impact on our everyday lives. But do they -- and their billion-dollar companies -- have the human intelligence to keep artificial intelligence safe and ethical? Questions like this are part of the history and overview of artificial intelligence in Cade Metz's book "Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World." On Monday, Jan. 17, Metz, a technology correspondent for The New York Times and former senior writer for Wired magazine, is the first speaker in the 2022 Nonfiction Author Series, sponsored by the nonprofit Friends of the Library of Collier County, which raises money for public library programs and resources. The lecture series includes breakfast and is being held this year at a new venue, the Kensington Country Club in Naples.
