A philosophical task force explores how AI is revolutionizing our lives - and what moral problems it might bring, showing us what to be wary of, and what to be hopeful for.
There is no more important issue at present than artificial intelligence. AI has begun to penetrate almost every sphere of human activity. It will disrupt our lives entirely. David Edmonds brings together a team of leading philosophers to explore some of the urgent moral concerns we should have about this revolution. The chapters are rich with examples from contemporary society and imaginative projections of the future. The contributors investigate problems we're all aware of, and introduce some that will be new to many readers. They discuss self and identity, health and insurance, politics and manipulation, the environment, work, law, policing, and defence. Each of them explains the issue in a lively and illuminating way, and takes a view about how we should think and act in response. Anyone who is wondering what ethical challenges the future holds for us can start here.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
A very good ... read. It shows that creating an intelligent machine as competent as - or more competent than - humans subverts almost every assumption we currently make about ourselves and the future. * Bryan Appleyard, Literary Review * An up-to-date, jargon-free and thoughtful survey. * Robin Gill, Church Times * A tour de force of 20 leading authors, brought together in a masterful editorship by David Edmonds. * Richard Lofthouse, QUAD * The essays in this collection cast an informed and up-to-date eye over an area that is evolving very rapidly. The book is very accessible...Many of the contributions are lively and astute. * David Gibney, Mercator * Edmonds ontinues his work as a great popularizer and promoter of philosophical thinking, both inside and outside the academy, with this useful little edited volume... clearly written... accessible and engaging. * L. Bernhardt, Choice *
