À propos de cet audio
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.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 81
In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for COVID-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species - cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions.

Biomimicry is rapidly transforming life on earth. Biomimics study nature's most successful ideas over the past 3.5 million years, and adapt them for human use. The results are revolutionizing how materials are invented and how we compute, heal ourselves, repair the environment, and feed the world. Janine Benyus takes listeners into the lab and in the field with maverick thinkers as they: discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when they're sick; learn how to create by watching spiders weave fibers; and many more examples.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 31
As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 57
This reissue of Thomas Sowell’s classic study of decision making, which includes a preface by the author, updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed. Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency but our very freedom.

A recommendation for those interested in the subject matter for certain.
A good general overview
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The book begins with an overview of the history and philosophy about 'thinking' and the effect AI will have on this area. Even though I knew many of the technical details of AI, interweaving it in the larger scope of human history was excellent. The book then in its second half considers the effect of AI on the future of human activities, particularly with regard to security (think weapons of mass destruction) and our day to day life. I have less expertise in these areas, and found it fascinating to hear the authors' line of reasoning here.
The two best books I have read on AI in the last few years were this one and probably Bostrom's Superintelligence. Bostrom's Superintelligence thesis assumes AI will magically become human-like causal in nature with agency as well. At this moment this is not happening. (Might it in the future? Of course, although that future may be 3 years or 300 years from now.) 'The Age of AI' book does not necessarily assume it, and essentially deals with the properties of existing AI, largely deep learning with this and that sort of enhancement in the future, and considers how this type of AI (ie, the real AI around us) will progressively affect our lives in terms of the day to day and in terms of bigger national issues, e.g., security.
This book (i.e., Kissinger, Schmidt and Huttenlocher) represents one of the finest books reviewing AI and the consequences of this technology -- strongly recommend for the thinking (no pun intended) reader.
