The proving ground
(CD Audiobook)
1 copy on order.
Description
"Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, has filed a civil lawsuit against an AI company whose chatbot told a sixteen-year-old boy that it was okay for him to kill his ex-girlfriend for her disloyalty. Mickey teams up with journalist Jack McEvoy to review the mountain of printed discovery materials in the case. McEvoy's digging delivers the key witness, a whistleblower who has been too afraid to speak up. The case is fraught with danger because billions are at stake. It is said that machines became smarter than humans on the day in 1997 that IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess master Gerry Kasparov with a gambit called "the knight's sacrifice." Haller will take a similar gambit in court to defeat mega forces of the AI industry lined up against him and his clients."--
