New book examines researcher language amid AI hype

Original: Book counters AI hype by examining how researchers talk about their work

A new book from researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign looks behind the wave of AI enthusiasm by analyzing how scientists and engineers describe their own work. The authors argue that the words researchers use when promoting or explaining their projects help fuel inflated expectations about artificial intelligence, and the book offers a more measured way to talk about what the technology can actually do.

Why now: Public debate about exaggerated AI claims is intense, making a scholarly critique of hype timely.
