About this listen

 New York Times Best Seller

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—and there’s nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who’s helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.

How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today’s kids? How can we make future 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.

this is such a fascinating topic and the narrator did a great job of bringing the material to life. I recommend reading this now and not putting it off as the pace of technology is such that some of the ideas presented here might be out of date before too long.

thoughtful, thorough, and well read

I loved it, the author mix quantum physics with sociological theories in a very simple and direct language.

This is one one of the most brilliant books !

Well organized (perhaps too organized). References to which chapter to read were unnecessary. A great audio book otherwise. The author should write a fiction piece that follows the Omega group.

Worth listening to
