Is AI out to kill us? Or will it open a path to humans transcending their corporal limitations?
There have been plenty of scary news stories about the dangers of artificial intelligence. Someone who worked for two leading AI companies just stated that there is a greater than 10% chance that AI kills us all by 2030. A head of another AI company agrees that AI is dangerous. Those types of stories are chilling. But are they the whole story?
The Eureka Machine attempts to present the other side. How AI will benefit humans in medicine and other lifestyle improvements is discussed throughout the book.
So who is right? Is AI the boogeyman or our savior? It comes down to who builds the AI and what questions it is allowed to answer. Just like guns, guns don’t kill people, people do.
The Eureka Machine is a well researched look into a positive, in a glass half full style, vision of our AI future. It is up to you and all the rest of us to decide how we want the future to enfold. 4 stars!
