2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity by John C. Lennox

informative medium-paced

4.5

This was quite an excellent book that focused more on the implications of Artificial Intelligence from a Christian book. The only aspect that I didn’t enjoy was that the book started to take on a more speculative approach without diving into the current technical foundations to warrant the thought processes. I wish he delved more into how ML systems, which are at their core mathematical function approximators, could never truly be “conscious” and the implications of that. Once the book started to emphasize AGI, I felt the technical foundations were left in the dust. Despite this, Dr. Lennox brings up many important points about morality and the future of technology, which must be seriously discussed.
