Something New: AIs and us-the coming age when "nothing new under the sun" is not true anymore (Paperback)

Since humankind has appeared on the planet, it has had an ever wider and deeper impact on its evolution. Does it represent a unique and unrepeatable moment? Will human intelligence be replicated? And if this happens will it be a shocking development equal to the discontinuity of humanity's arrival? What will happen to mankind itself? Technological Singularity is the moment when Artificial Intelligence could take over. Forecasted in 20-30 years from now, for many experts it is one of the most promising but also the most dangerous moments in human history. This book exposes in an accessible way what the consequences could be of the exponential acceleration of technological change and how Artificial Intelligence could change many, perhaps all, the rules that guide our knowledge of the world.
