Digital Ape

How smart machines are transforming us all — and what we should do about it.


The smart-machines revolution is re-shaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain’s leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion, and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of super-intelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we became Homo sapiens, and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control — in our private lives, in employment, in politics — and make the best of the wonderful opportunities, will determine our collective future well-being.



Lucid, well-informed, and deeply human, The Digital Ape offers a unique approach. The authors prefer to add augmented wisdom to artificial intelligence.

Modul in care masinile inteligente ne transforma pe toti - si ce ar trebui sa facem in acest sens. Revolutia masinilor inteligente ne remodeleaza viata si societatile. Aici, Nigel Shadbolt (una dintre autoritatile de conducere britanice in domeniul inteligentei artificiale) si Roger Hampson risipesc teroarea, confuzia si conceptia gresita.
