The Artificial Intelligence Contagion

Can Democracy Withstand the Imminent Transformation of Work, Wealth, and the Social Order?

Artificial intelligence/robotics: Have we opened a Pandora’s Box?

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels - underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation - will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

insights

Every strategist has to read this book, what is going on in the world of ai and what we can expect. For now and in the (near) future, a macro perspective with the right insights. david and daniel thanks your book is in my top3 for 2020

artificial intelligence is cool

this is a cool idea about the future of jobs in life around the world if computers keep progressing at a faster and faster rate. I wish it was true. robots aren't here yet but their capabilities discussed in this book are limitless.

Profound despondency

This book discusses mega social trends, such as wealth disparity, and it also expresses the sinister side of artificial intelligence.

I'd be fine with pure gloom and doom if the chapters had more coherence. There were too many rabbit holes in the story, such as the nation's debt crisis. In my view, these chapters were not made relevant to the subject of artificial intelligence. Maybe that was something the author intended to do but instead had to get the book out before finishing it.

The narrator was certainly competent but uninspired, in my opinion. Further, I experienced this narrator in 'Ender's Game', and that is one great performance. But every performance has to feel inspired and cannot be simply good pronunciation.

A must read for all!

Everyone should read this book. Great insight to where the world is going explained clearly for all to understand

Advancement of AI

As artificial intelligence advances all need to be aware of future consequences. Information is well documented and captivating.
