Description
Our Final Invention: A Warning About the Future of Artificial Intelligence As the world invests billions in achieving human-level intelligence, the stakes are high. If artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, it could have far-reaching consequences for humanity. James Barrat explores the risks of this pursuit through profiles of tech visionaries, industry watchdogs, and groundbreaking AI systems. The pursuit of advanced AI raises fundamental questions about our place in the world. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to? Barrat's book delves into the perils of this unchecked ambition, shedding light on the potential consequences of creating a rival intelligence that may be more cunning, powerful, and alien than we can imagine.
