Humans Need Not Apply: A Guide to Wealth and Work in the Age by Jerry Kaplan

By Jerry Kaplan

After billions of greenbacks and fifty years of attempt, researchers are eventually cracking the code on man made intelligence. As society stands at the cusp of unparalleled swap, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the most recent advances in robotics, desktop studying, and conception powering platforms that rival or exceed human functions. Driverless automobiles, robot helpers, and clever brokers that advertise our pursuits have the aptitude to herald a brand new age of affluence and rest — yet as Kaplan warns, the transition can be protracted and brutal except we deal with the 2 nice scourges of the fashionable built international: unstable exertions markets and source of revenue inequality. He proposes cutting edge, free-market alterations to our financial system and social regulations to prevent a longer interval of social turmoil. His well timed and obtainable research of the promise and perils of synthetic intelligence is a must-read for company leaders and coverage makers on either side of the aisle.
