Artificial Intelligence is transforming human society fundamentally and profoundly. Not since the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason have we changed how we approach knowledge, politics, economics, even warfare. Three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore what it means for us all.
This important and fascinating book explores how the digital age will shape our world, presenting a new, interconnected future filled with both challenges and opportunities. Authored by two leading thinkers, it combines the insights of a prominent Silicon Valley innovator and the Director of Google Ideas, who has advised high-profile government officials. The future is vividly imagined, highlighting transformative technologies that can enhance productivity, safety, and quality of life, such as thought-controlled motion technology and advanced translation systems that foster diverse interactions. The authors also address critical considerations, including managing our online identities and combating those who misuse technology, as well as the significant political changes that will arise from evolving conflicts, active global citizenry, and the rise of cyber-terrorism. They emphasize the dual nature of our future, where states operate in both physical and virtual realms, and the persistent threats to privacy and security. This breakthrough work is pragmatic, inspirational, and utterly captivating, urging governments, businesses, and individuals to understand technology to navigate the future effectively.
"An A.I. that learned to play chess discovered moves that no human champion would have conceived of. Driverless cars edge forward at red lights, just like impatient humans, and so far, nobody can explain why it happens. Artificial intelligence is being put to use in sports, medicine, education, and even (frighteningly) how we wage war. In this book, three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore how A.I. could affect our relationship with knowledge, impact our world views, and change society and politics as profoundly as the ideas of the Enlightenment"--Publisher's description
THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.
