The Coming Age of Artificial Intelligence

Yet the discussion around these recent advancements is largely polarized; some experts think that machines will solve most of humanity's problems, while others argue that AI's progression will lead us down a dark, dystopian path that renders mankind irrelevant. Regardless of what one believes, the idea that we might bring forth intelligent creation can be intrinsically frightening. In The Sentient Machine, Amir Husain addresses broad existential questions surrounding the coming of AI: Why are we valuable? What can we create in this world? How are we intelligent? What constitutes progress for us? And how might we fail to progress? Show less
