About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will learn that the development of artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the ultimate invention of mankind.
You will also learn that :
- tomorrow, AI will make the decisions for humans;
- this fundamental change will probably take place during your lifetime;
- the completed version of AI could take the form of an "augmented human";
- man will not forever master the dangers born of scientific and technical development;
- the evolution towards AI will be incremental;
- intelligence is by nature unpredictable.
In a little less than a decade, AI could catch up with, and then surpass, the level of human intellectual capacities. Companies and public research institutes alike are spending billions of dollars each year to advance this pioneering science, which is still in its infancy. In "Our Final Invention", James Barrat, director of television documentaries for National Geographic, PBS (the American public television channel) and Discovery, among others, expresses his deep conviction: the foreseeable and imminent takeover of AI will indeed be our last invention. For our species, then, will disappear.
