Future Theory

The singularity is the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the associated transformation of the human condition. Spoiler alert: That transformation will be profound. Despite the importance of the concept of the singularity, the subject receives nothing like the attention it deserves. This book seeks to dispel the confusion, to untangle the distortions, to highlight practical steps forward, and to attract much more serious attention to the singularity. The future of humanity is at stake.

Artificial intelligence, often referred to as AI, is a rapidly evolving field that is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. At its core, AI is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This allows machines to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make predictions, all without human intervention. AI is a broad and diverse field, encompassing a wide range of technologies and applications that have the potential to transform industries and improve our daily lives.

Sensational media reports speculate about the "rise of the machines" but fail to see that there's no real intelligence in AI. It is not an all-seeing master, but rather a functional tool that must combine with the intelligence we possess to be effective. With The AI Republic, Terence Tse, Mark Esposito, and Danny Goh have not written a book for coders, but for everyone curious about a future shaped by AI. They demystify this life-changing technology and explain how we can build a shared space where humans and intelligent automation work together.

Kaum eine Wirtschaft steckt die Pandemie so gut weg wie die deutsche, noch immer ist sie im internationalen Vergleich erfolgreich. Doch vor der romantischen Kulisse von chromblitzenden Maschinen und Weltmarktführern aller Art hat sich schon lange vor Corona ein drängender Haufen Zukunftsfragen aufgetürmt. Die Digitalisierung, die Perspektiven der Schlüsselindustrie Automobil oder die Dekarbonisierung der Wirtschaft generell: Vielen Unternehmen fehlt es an eigenen Ideen, wie eine nachhaltige Wertschöpfung aussehen könnte.
