NEW YORK, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Breaking Bots: Inventing a New Voice in the AI Revolution by Clinc's Founder CEO Dr. Jason Mars is available now. The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
In setting the stage for his new book, Jason Mars considers how technology has shaped the arc of human history, time and again. From the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution to our current Technological Age, a once gradual pace of progress has given way to an era of rapid, exponential growth. The next revolution humanity must prepare for, in Mars' view, is Artificial Intelligence. In Breaking Bots: Inventing a New Voice in the AI Revolution, Jason Mars expresses the surprising progress AI has made in recent years and what our shared future holds. At the same time, Mars chronicles the unique journey and key insights of creating a company dedicated to advancing AI's potential.
"The frontier for conversational AI is endless and thrilling," Mars explained. "Being able to speak freely, as you would to a human in the room, is the holy grail."
While virtual home assistants like Alexa or Siri are now commonplace, these technologies are limited by their market and narrow internal intuitions. That said, Breaking Bots still positions conversational AI as humanity's next fire, light bulb, or internet. It is in bridging those intuitional gaps that the work of computer scientist Jason Mars and Clinc, the company he founded, seeks to make an impact. Breaking Bots offers insights into the paradigm-shifting technical and cultural DNA that makes Jason's work, and Clinc's technology, a bold future for AI.
Ryan Tweedie, the CIO Portfolio Director and Global Managing Director of Accenture, believes that Mars is "a true vanguard in the lineage and development of AI, especially for what counts—the human element."
Breaking Bots: Inventing a New Voice in the AI Revolution is available on Amazon today.
