What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today’s kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust, so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle? How will Artificial Intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology-and there’s nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who’s helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. Source: Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence I propose that we build Arks as that day nears, and adopt a seafaring life! We feel safe on our peaks, but, at the present rate, those too will be submerged within another half century. Now the flood has reached the foothills, and our outposts there are contemplating retreat. A half century ago it began to drown the lowlands, driving out human calculators and record clerks, but leaving most of us dry. Imagine a “landscape of human competence,” having lowlands with labels like “arithmetic” and “rote memorization,” foothills like “theorem proving” and “chess playing,” and high mountain peaks labeled “locomotion,” “hand-eye coordination” and “social interaction.” Advancing computer performance is like water slowly flooding the landscape. Human potentials, on the other hand, are strong in areas long important for survival, but weak in things far removed. Tegmark tackles the discussion around how much machines will encroach on human domains, by illustrating a metaphor from Hans Moravec:Ĭomputers are universal machines, their potential extends uniformly over a boundless expanse of tasks. His physics oriented perspective provides an interesting point of view, as humanity wrestles with the ultimate path of artificial intelligence. Author Max Tegmark takes a fascinating journey through possible AI futures. I just added another very good book to the Book Library: Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence – A New York Times Best Seller.
