2062 is the year by which we will have built machines as intelligent as us. This is what leading AI and robotics experts predict. But what will this future actually look like? When the quest to build intelligent machines has been successful, how will life on this planet unfold?
In 2062, Toby Walsh considers the impact AI will have on work, war, politics, economics, everyday human life and, indeed, human death. Will robots become conscious? Will automation take away jobs? Will we become immortal machines ourselves, uploading our brains to the cloud? What lies in store for homo digitalis - the people of the not-so-distant future who will be living amongst fully functioning artificial intelligence?
In the tradition of Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus, 2062 describes the choices we need to make today to ensure that future remains bright.Pages : 302
