Back with another book review. Though not quite done with this one yet, I must say I am enjoying it very much. It's one of those books that you never want to finish.
We are living in a digital generation where literally everything is being run by technology. Some like to also call us the microwave generation because we have become too accustomed to getting things done instantly. Nobody want to work too hard for anything this days, everyone busy out here selling convenience or what others call user experience*. This has given rise to a lot more technological advancement which I at times feel will be the end of us.
How will Artificial Intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology
Those are some of the questions this book strives to answer.
AI systems more robust, so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle?
What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. It doesn't shy away from the full range of viewpoints or from the most controversial issues--from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos....

If you are into tech and anything AI related, then this is one book that I would highly recommend. Not only is it engaging, but lives one wondering into the kind of future we are molding as humans, and whether we will survive long enough before we end the human species through our own advancement.
I feel like one AI I'd able to program itself, there's no stopping it and what it can do. It can run forex, manipulate elections, alter data and so on.. See the danger?
