DESCRIPTION:
Jared Diamond of the future Jerry Kaplan does for the future what Jared Diamond did for the past: He pulls together our human (or humanoid) fate in sparkling,often hilarious, prose. Kaplan begins by offering the non scientific reader (me) a clear overview of the AI advances that are poised to make human workers obsolete--offering eye popping examples explaining how the pace of technology is destined to overwhelm the human landscape o. "We live in interesting times" according to Colditz, J.B.. This was an eye-opening book. It focuses new developments in artificial intelligence under the lenses of ethics and economics. As someone who develops automation software and language-processing algorithms on social media, I only wish that the author would have gone more in-depth with the implications of how computers/algorithms are already contributing to the social network banter and online comment threa. One of the better non-technical treatments of deep learning Amazon Customer One of the better non-technical treatments of deep learning, AI etc. The differentiator, I think, is that Kaplan lived in this space for long enough to know what is actually happening, not what some visionaries and doomsayers speculate might happen. It is easy to find works that prophesy machines taking over every occupation, but the data don't support that at all. An economy experiencing widespread automa
Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure - but, as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He 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-listen for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities. After billions of dollars and 50 years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence
