The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the present and shaping our future faster than any other form of technology.
How will Artificial Superintelligence affect crime, war, jobs, society, and humanity as a whole?
Will automation dominate our activities, replacing humans in the labor market, politics, justice, medicine, economy, industry, and transportation? How acceptable will be the verdict of a robotic judge, and how feasible is life without ownership? Will we live in a Liberal Utopia or a Consensual Dictatorship?
What is consciousness, and when will machines acquire it?
How human-centric will be the new course of History?
Will we control intelligent machines in mimicking human behavior, or will they control us? Will they replace us or merge with us? What does it mean to be human in the era of artificial intelligence?
These questions are not only intellectually fascinating but also ethically crucial, as our choices affect the future of life.
No one is more suitable to explore this future than Max Tegmark, the most specialized professor at MIT, who leads global research on how AI can be beneficial for humanity. His book is the most captivating read on the challenges and choices in the pursuit of a grand future for life, intelligence, and consciousness - on Earth and beyond.
