Solomon's Code

"A thought-provoking examination of artificial intelligence and how it will reshape human values, trust, and power around the world. Whether in medicine, money, or love, technologies powered by forms of artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly prominent role in our lives. As we cede more and more of our decisions to thinking machines, we face new questions about staying safe, keeping a job and determining the direction we want our lives to take. And the answers to those questions might depend on your race, gender, age, behavior, or nationality. New AI technologies can drive cars, treat damaged brains, and nudge workers to be more productive, but they also can threaten, manipulate, and alienate us from others. They can pit nation against nation, but they also can help the global community tackle some of its greatest challenges, from food crises to global climate change. In clear and accessible prose, global trends and strategy adviser Olaf Groth and AI scientist and social entrepreneur Mark Nitzberg, provide a unique, human-focused, and global view of how humanity may evolve in a world of thinking machines. [This book] emphasizes their conviction that the highest purpose of business and technology is to create better societies."--Dust jacket.
