Description
Technology is putting our humanity at risk to an unprecedented degree. This book is not for engineers who write the code or the policy makers who claim they are able to keep watch over it. This is a book for you. Because, consider it or not, you are the only one that can fix it. – Mo Gawdat
Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI ceaselessly get it so fallacious?
The answer is us. Humans design the algorithms that define the way that AI works, and the processed information reflects a less than excellent world. Does that mean we are doomed? In Scary Smart, Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling creator of Solve for Happy, draws on his considerable expertise to answer this question and to show what we will be able to all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better. With more than thirty years’ experience working at the state of the art of technology and his former role as chief business officer of Google [X], no one is better placed than Mo Gawdat to give an explanation for how the Artificial Intelligence of the future works.
By 2049 AI will be a billion times more intelligent than humans. Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint, pointing the way to what we will be able to do to safeguard ourselves, those we love and the planet itself.
