A Philosophical Take on Artificial Intelligence: How Will a Superbrain Change the Human Race?

A Philosophical Take on Artificial Intelligence: How Will a Superbrain Change the Human Race?

Many are discussing what AI and other advanced technologies may become; few have thought through what we will become. "Generation AI"-those who are born after 2022-will be the first humans to grow up in a world of immersive AI, intelligent robots, and ambiguous boundaries between the born and the made. They will differ fundamentally from us, yet their future is our future too.

Drawing on evolutionary biology, social science, and progress in advanced technologies, renowned scientist-philosopher Gregory Stock offers the most comprehensive analysis yet of how AI will reshape not just our world, but our very nature. "Generation AI: The Transformation of Human Being" is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the profound transformation already underway-and our place within it.
