The days of a secure and peaceful future are over. Man is on the brink of a new world filled with danger, adventure, and a potential threat from an artificial intelligence unlike anything ever seen.
The world we live in is on the cusp of a dangerous new era: the emergence of intelligent artificial systems, or "agents", that will profoundly reshape humanity's relationship with technology. We will explore the murky landscape ahead, and seek to uncover the future of mankind's relationship with these revolutionary new technologies.
Advancements in artificial intelligence are happening faster than ever before, and with them comes a potential risk unseen in the history of digital technology. We explore the implications of this rapid development, from extreme wealth disparity to cyber–security threats, and examine how these systems might impact the lives of citizens everywhere. At the centre of this book stands the ethical dilemma posed by these agents: how can we ensure that our choices respect and protect our values, interests, and communities?
This is just the beginning. As we venture deeper into this new, complex, and sometimes intimidating world, you will witness stunning stories of amazing innovations and emerging opportunities that promise to change our lives forever. From artificial intelligence and its associated robotic hardware, to the advocates and opponents of these remarkable creations, this book promises to be an eye-opening exploration of the world that's to come.
