What to Think About Machines That Think: Today's Leading Thinkers on the Age of Machine Intelligence – Essays on Artificial Intelligence and Human Destiny (Edge Question Series)
Weighing in from the cutting-edge frontiers of science, today€s most forward-thinking minds explore the rise of €œmachines that think.€Â
Stephen Hawking recently made headlines by noting, €œThe development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.€ Others, conversely, have trumpeted a new age of €œsuperintelligence€ in which smart devices will exponentially extend human capacities.
