ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE FUTURE OF POWER (HB)

Artificial intelligence is
only partially visible, just like an iceberg. To understand it fully, we must
look beneath the surface. The positive side is that technology is making
machines smarter. However, the deeper view explained in this book shows that
AI is also making a growing number of people cognitively and psychologically
dependent on digital networks. Whether you are a social media Fanatic, a
diehard AI aficionado, or a paranoid sceptic, it is impossible to escape the
ubiquitous impact of AI. Artificial intelligence is the brains bringing
together quantum computing, nanotechnology, medical technology, brain-machine
interface, robotics, aerospace, 5G, Internet of Things, and more. It is
amplifying human ingenuity and disrupting the foundations of healthcare,
military, entertainment, education, marketing and manufacturing. Artificial
intelligence and the future of power argues that this ai-driven revolution
will have an unequal impact on different segments of humanity. There will be
new winners and losers, new haves and have-nots, resulting in an
unprecedented concentration of wealth and power. After analyzing society?s
vulnerabilities to the impending tsunami, the book raises troubling questions
that provoke immediate debate: is the world headed toward digital
colonization by USA and China? Will depopulation become eventually
unavoidable? Artificial intelligence and the future of power is a wakeup call
to action, compelling public intellectuals to be better informed and more
engaged. It educates the social segments most at risk and wants them to
demand a seat at the table where policies on artificial intelligence are
being formulated.
