Hear two of the leading thinkers discuss the age of intelligence. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change - the increasing integration of robots into modern society, including on the battlefield and on the road, in business, education, and health - John Markoff and Jerry Kaplan explore the potential avenues and consequences of this transition.
Those who design the machines have a stark choice to make. They can design systems to enhance the quality of human work and life, or they can design systems that replace humans entirely.
In Humans Need Not Apply, Jerry Kaplan, Fellow at the Center for Legal Informatics at Stanford University, proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-read for business leaders and policy makers on both side of the aisle.
In Machines of Loving Grace, Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times reporter John Markoff, explores this issue and searches for an answer to one of the most important questions of our age: will these robots help us . . . or will they replace us? Markoff explores everything from the brain trusts in Palo Alto and Silicon Valley to the expanding tech corridor between Bostonhome of MITand New York, the latest incubator for future tech development, and evaluates the present state of the A.I. versus I.A. debate. He talks to the insidersscientists, entrepreneurs, ethicists, hackers and otherswho are shaping this reality.
Both books are crucial for understanding one of the great challenges of our times.
