THE WAY HUMANS NAVIGATE THE WORLD IS ALTERING, FOREVER.
THIS IS YOUR ESSENTIAL AI ROADMAP.
AI is revolutionizing how we approach security, economics, order and even knowledge itself.
It is changing how we experience reality, and our role within it.
Three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers explore what this means for our present and our future, tackling the questions that will affect as all:
What will it mean to be human?
What are the key frontier risks?
What AI ethics are we going to need?
How is AI impacting politics, defence, medicine and education?
'Absolutely masterful . . . the book we all need' Fareed Zakaria

Henry Kissinger was the 56th Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize; Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO, lead the company's growth for over a decade and Daniel Huttenlocher is dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former secretary of state Kissinger (World Order), former Google CEO Schmidt (How Google Works), and MIT computer scientist Huttenlocher underwhelm in this stolid and unimaginative primer on artificial intelligence. "Every day, everywhere, A.I. is increasing in popularity," they write, and trace the philosophical and intellectual roots of artificial intelligence from its antecedents in Enlightenment thinking—intelligent machines, for example, call into question "I think therefore I am"—and the postwar technological advances driven by Alan Turing and Frank Rosenblatt, who created a "neural network" for computers in 1958. While they raise thought-provoking questions about the implications of AI on geopolitics (notably as European nations debate whether to use U.S. or Chinese platforms), their musings on the impact AI has and will have on humans' daily lives feel cursory. The authors also rely on familiar examples of AI success stories—AlphaZero, a chess-playing machine, and halicin, an AI-generated antibiotic, come up time and time again. Despite the work's brief moments of insight and the authors' bona fides, there isn't much to recommend this.
