Download Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era AudioBook Free
A Huffington Post Definitive Technical Book of 2013 Artificial Intellect helps choose what catalogs you buy, what movies you observe, and even who you time. It places the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it'll drive your car. It makes almost all of the investments on Wall Block, and controls essential energy, drinking water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intellect can also threaten our living. In as little as ten years, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Firms and government agencies are pouring billions into reaching AI's Holy Grail - human-level cleverness. Once AI has obtained it, scientists claim, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be required to compete with a competitor more cunning, more powerful, plus more alien than we can imagine. Through profiles of tech visionaries, industry watchdogs, and groundbreaking AI systems, Our Final Invention explores the perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. As yet, human intelligence has had no competitor. Can we coexist with beings whose cleverness dwarfs our own? And can they allow us to?
