Life seems to move so fast. Things are constantly changing around us that it’s hard to keep up with the next month, let alone the next year. But, what if looking into the future is incredibly more important than we think? Do we need a wake-up call?
Former Google Chief Business Officer for Google [X], Mo Gawdat thinks so.
Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does Intelligence frequently get it so wrong?
The answer is us. Humans design the algorithms that define the way that AI works, and the processed information reflects an imperfect world. Does that mean we are doomed? In Scary Smart, Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy, draws on his considerable expertise to answer this question and to show what we can all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better. With more than thirty years’ experience working at the cutting-edge of technology and his former role as chief business officer of Google [X], no one is better placed than Mo Gawdat to explain how the Artificial Intelligence of the future works.
“Technology is putting our humanity at risk to an unprecedented degree. This book is not for engineers who write the code or the policy makers who claim they can regulate it. This is a book for you. Because, believe it or not, you are the only one that can fix it.” – Mo Gawdat
By 2049 AI will be a billion times more intelligent than humans. Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint, pointing the way to what we can do to safeguard ourselves, those we love and the planet itself.
This book is about AI as much as it is a call-to-action to remember our own humanity.
We talk about why the future of AI is much closer than we think. We dive into why AI is no longer a machine and have to view it as a digital sentient being. Mo also shares the role we play as the parents of this new digital being in order to create a utopian future for humanity. Grab you copy here.
