The Age of AI

And Our Human Future

By: Henry A Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, Daniel Huttenlocher

Narrated by: Eric Pollins

Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society—and what this technology means for us all.

An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality.

In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.

Eye opening flash of a future, already here!

Solid ground work of laying down some of the most important and troubling questioms about AI and AGI. i wish there had been a beefier
section on how AI actually works.
Someone must know...?
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and eye opening book which will reverbarate for years to come.

Insightful, thought provoking but needs supplemental material

Insightful and thought provoking for all sectors and strata of societies. However, it would be more useful, in terms of understanding and implementation of the authors’ suggestions, if accompanied by a workbook or PDF of questions, challenges and appropriate activities for different sectors of society. Without this follow up by the authors, the critical challenges of AI may be misunderstood, neglected or lead to unintended chaotic and potentially violent consequences.
I highly recommend this book to everyone, starting in high school!

A Great Starting Point

A well-written book on AI that is great for people newly interested in the topic to start with. Context in the larger AI debate is incredibly important to have, given the rapid pace of advancement and the increasing attention payed to the development of new AI systems.

All speculation. No examples.

All abstract speculation and assertions. Almost no examples.

Examples are needed when discussing a topic like this one.

A Must Read for the Modern Era

Love it or hate AI will be shaping our lives to an increasing degree going forward. Those who benefit most will be those who are informed.
