Description
Optimists foretell a golden age of AI-managed abundance. Doomers cry: vast cyber-minds will crush old style humanity! Or make us irrelevant. Meanwhile, geniuses fostering the artificial intelligence boom cling to clichés rooted in the dismal human past… or else in cheap sci-fi. Is there still time to step back and take perspective?
- on 4 billion years of evolution...
- on 60 centuries of wretched feudalism...
- on how we dealt with prior tech revolutions...
- on ways that this time may be different?
From AI-driven unemployment to deceitful images, to hallucinating LLMs and tools for tyrants... to potentially wondrous gifts by machines of loving grace... come see future paths that evade the standard ruts.
A tour guided by scientist/novelist David Brin, author of The Transparent Society and The Postman.
