Robots and us
Just translated and out in Italy, this is a book that delves into the realities and impact of Artificial Intelligence
Robots or in other words, Artificial Intelligence. In our everyday lives and in the work of companies. AI is the most recent industrial revolution that, like its predecessors, both fascinates and frightens, and must be understood and managed, however it is approached. To do this, you might want to carefully read “The Rule of Robots. How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything” written by Martin Ford, one of the most thoughtful and disenchanted experts of the subject, who in a few hundred pages that can almost be read in one sitting, has managed to illustrate the reality of AI, its advantages and its considerable risks . In addition to explaining the need for governance to be put in place.
Ford first explains and describes the various roles of Robots. This includes the invention of driverless cars, applications that translate incomprehensible writing into meaningful sentences, homes that switch on lights and heating at our command, the complete automation of restaurants and supermarkets, the manufacture of weapons capable of killing without human intervention, disinfectant robots capable of eliminating all bacteria from hospital rooms, algorithms used in personnel selection, discoveries in the chemical, health and energy fields made possible by deep learning and sophisticated facial recognition systems used by governments to identify political opponents. Ford does not forget AGI, the “Artificial general intelligence” that, if realised, would allow a machine to communicate, reason and conceive ideas on a human level or even higher.
What is perhaps most important about Ford’s book, however, is the series of insights into some crucial phases of AI. Its control, its effects on labour and business, on social living, on climate change, its positive power to solve a number of crucial issues for all of us provided it is guided well and democratically.
Martin’s book only appears like a journey into the world of robots, because it is actually a serious analysis of what AI really is and what it could be.
