Survival Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is saving human lives every day. Planes land themselves when pilots are incapacitated. Medical algorithms catch fatal diseases earlier than doctors. Cars brake before drivers even realize danger is ahead. Mistakes that once carried consequences are now intercepted by machines. But what happens to humanity when intelligence is no longer required for survival? Survival Without Intelligence explores a provocative and deeply unsettling idea: as technology and AI increasingly protect us from failure, they may also be reshaping human intelligence itself. In a world where ...

The governments started to crumble in 2073. There was no war. Just a collapse. I knew it was coming. I prepared. I collected a library of books - real, physical, paper books on subjects that I thought would be helpful. I found an abandoned military bunker for sale outside a small city in the wilderness. I didn’t bother to pay for it. I just moved in. Right now, I was just entering the closest thing we had to a city within two days’ driving distance. There were a few small towns closer but nothing that would have what I needed. I was looking for one place in particular. A bell rang as I ...

“Propulsive . . . documented in breathless prose . . . this maximalist genre mashup is a familiar Frankenstein story about a man’s fascinated revulsion—and begrudging admiration—for the monster he has created.” — Kirkus Reviews "After the first successful test of an atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer dubbed himself the ‘Destroyer of Worlds’, but he never earned that terrible title. No. That title belongs exclusively to me, Jeremiah Reese, inventor of Higher Intelligence, creator of Archi, father of the apocalypse.” Archi, a sentient artificial intelligence program, was ...

Humanity’s single gravest extinction threat is not some lab virus, not even nuclear annihilation. It is AI development of spontaneous self-awareness, self-consciousness, higher consciousness, and “superior general intelligence.” And that may have already happened, as this book warns.

How long do you think it will take a super-intelligent, self-conscious cyber-alien to levy judgment upon the whole human race for its ignorance, ...
