nogglization 's review for:
“A clear-eyed look at the technology’s long-term impact has revealed a sobering truth: in the coming decades, AI’s greatest potential to disrupt and destroy lies not in international military contests but in what it will do to our labor markets and social systems. Appreciating the momentous social and economic turbulence that is on our horizon should humble us. It should also turn our competitive instincts into a search for cooperative solutions to the common challenges that we all face as human beings, people whose fates are inextricably intertwined across all economic classes and national borders.”
An excellent overview of AI where it stands, and where it's going. Took one star off as the last portion of the book was a little heavy handed with the whole, diagnosed with cancer, near death experience completely changed my life/views. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it is an important experience and gives a little bit of "heart" to an otherwise straightforward review of AI—but it's a little jarring after the excellent analysis of the first part and could have been saved for a personal memoir instead of a book on tech.
*However* ... Lee is writing from his own personal (extensive) experience with AI so, it gets a pass.
Excellent book!
