The science of AI was born a little over 60 years ago, but for most of that time its results were modest. In 2012 it experienced a big bang, when a branch of statistics called Machine Learning (and a sub-branch called Deep Learning) Was applied to it. Now machines have surpassed humans in image recognition, and they are catching up with us at speech recognition and natural language processing. Every day, the media reports the launch of a new service, a new product, and a new demonstration Powered by AI. When will it end? The surprising truth is, the AI revolution has only just begun.
Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities argues that in the course of this century, the exponential growth in the capability of AI is likely to bring about two "singularities" - points at which conditions are so extreme that the normal rules break down. The first is The economic singularity, when machine skill reaches a level that renders many of us unemployable and requires an overhaul of our current economic and social systems. The second is the technological singularity, when machine intelligence reaches and then surpasses the cognitive abilities of an adult human, Relegating us to the second smartest species on the planet.
These singularities will present huge challenges, but this book argues that we can meet these challenges and overcome them. If we do, the rewards could be almost unimaginable.
This book covers:
• Recent developments in AI and its future potential
• The economic singularity and the technological singularity in depth
• The risks and opportunities presented by AI
• What actions we should take
Artificial intelligence can turn out to be the best thing ever to happen to humanity, making our future wonderful almost beyond imagination. But only if we address head-on the challenges that it will raise.
Calum Chace is a best-selling author of fiction and non-fiction books and articles, focusing on the subject of artificial intelligence. He is a regular speaker on artificial intelligence and related technologies, and runs a blog on the subject at www.pandoras- Prior to becoming a full-time writer and speaker, he spent 30 years in business as a marketer, a strategy consultant, and a CEO. He studied philosophy at Oxford University, where he discovered that the science fiction he had been Reading since boyhood was simply philosophy in fancy dress.
Review:
"Calum Chace's "Two Singularities"-the arrival of superintelligent AI and the economic replacement of humans by machines on a global scale-are among the greatest challenges we face. This book is an excellent introduction to both. It is thoroughly researched and persuasive. Chace's principal argument seems to be correct: we need to prepare now for the economic singularity or face a serious disruption of our civilization."
― Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science and Smith-Zadeh Professor in Engineering, University of California, Berkeley
"It's a brilliantly lucid guide to the current state of Artificial intelligence and its possibilities and potential - including the likelihood that it will eliminate employment as we currently know it. What makes this a must-read is what comes next - this is no dystopian alarm But a clarion call to start to thinking about how to cope with this eventuality – and an intriguing guide to some possible destinations. We should all be thinking about these potential problems right now – thankfully Calum has already provided an entertaining and thoughtful roadmap.”
― Mark Mardell, Presenter, BBC Radio Four
"Provocative and timely: a highly readable, and well-informed, discussion of potential economic changes that we should be thinking hard about now." ― Margaret Boden, Research Professor of Cognitive Science, Dept. of Informatics, University of Sussex
"Advancements in Artificial Intelligence will be of paramount importance in the years to come, not least in contributing to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, they will present serious socio-economic, ethical, and political challenges. For instance, AI-driven automation will profoundly disrupt the global workplace.
Calum Chace, as an extraordinary thinker and a story-teller, presents a thorough, yet easy-to-digest account of the most pressing issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence. Calum is a true master of presenting plausible scenarios, risk analyses, and creative solutions, Which will certainly contribute towards our quest to build a safe, prosperous and happy future."
― Irakli Beridze, Head, Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI)
