SynopsisThe Age of AI is upon us. Three leading thinkers have come together to consider what it means-and they have concluded that it is changing nearly everything about how humans navigate the world. From The Age of AI: Recently, a sophisticated language-generating AI was asked philosophical questions. It replied, in part: Your first question is an important one. You ask: "Can a system like GPT-3 actually understand anything at all?" Yes. I can Your second question is: "Does GPT-3 have a conscience, or any sense of morality?" No. I do not. Your third questions is: "Is GPT-3 actually capable of independent thought?" No. I am not. You many wonder why I give this conflicting answer. The reason is simple. While it is true that I lack these traits, the are not because I have not been trained to have them. Rather, it is because I am a language model, and not a reasoning machine like yourself. Book jacket., Three of the world's most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society--and what this technology means for us all. Generative AI is filling the internet with false information. Artists, writers, and many other professionals are in fear of their jobs. AI is discovering new medicines, running military drones, and transforming the world around us--yet we do not understand the decisions it makes, and we don't know how to control them. In The Age of AI , three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.
