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.

Not much useful information, mostly speculation about how AI will change the world. At least the people doing the speculation are pretty credible.

Not what I was hoping for.

I enjoyed the book overall for those over a certain age or unfamiliar with AI and the trends in the cyberworld, this book provides examples of how AI works, how it is being applied and the potential repercussions that may come from that.

A recommendation for those interested in the subject matter for certain.

A good general overview

This book may not have the gee-whiz predictions of other books on AI, but it is one of the most thought-provoking reviews of the field I have read. (Note1: I purchased the Audible version, and listened to it on walks every day, although I believe it is identical to the printed version. Note2: I have very good, if not expert technical knowledge, in a number of areas of AI, particularly more advanced AGI/HLAI areas.)
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.

Terrific, high-level review of implications of AI

As a general reader with limited technological skills I failed to understand much of this book. It is bald theory without engaging anecdotes and, for me, dull. A crucial subject, of course, but over my head much of the time. I got the basic message that AI was here to stay and grow. It could run our lives, as in the surveillance state of China, or work in partnership with us for better and worse. Judging by a recent interview he gave on tv, Kissinger is past his stale date. The other two credited authors may have written it and K. lent his name for a price.

Like a University Lecture

It’s definitely a good intro into AI and how it will affect our society. But I was hoping for more details. For example, not only that “it will have big military impacts” but how? What kind of weapons? How do they work? I found that lacking.

Too generic and high level

I found this book to be an enlightening and refreshingly approachable guide, illuminating AI's past, present, and potential future. As a tech consumer, I appreciated the authors’ fulsome exploration of AI’s potential applications, which will help me be a better informed operator of these tools. The book also astutely addresses potential risks, promoting an informed understanding of AI's diverse application. A commendable source for anyone seeking AI literacy.

Enlightening and Applicable

I thought the book got better as I read through it it is a very good overview of many of the changes that are happening

Very good
