AI is impossible to avoid online. And it has already changed everything from how doctors diagnose disease to how you interact with friends or read the news. But in \u003ci\u003eRule of the Robots\u003c\/i\u003e, Martin Ford argues that the true revolution is yet to come. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this sequel to his prescient \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eRise of the Robots\u003c\/i\u003e, Ford presents us with a striking vision of the very near future. He argues that AI is a uniquely powerful technology that is altering every dimension of human life, often for the better. For example, advanced science is being done by machines, solving devilish problems in molecular biology that humans could not, and AI can help us fight climate change or the next pandemic. It also has a capacity for profound harm. Deep fakes—AI-generated audio or video of events that never happened—are poised to cause havoc throughout society. AI empowers authoritarian regimes like China with unprecedented mechanisms for social control. And AI can be deeply biased, learning bigoted attitudes from us and perpetuating them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn short, this is not a technology to simply embrace, or let others worry about. The machines are coming, and they won’t stop, and each of us needs to know what that means if we are to thrive in the twenty-first century. And \u003ci\u003eRule of the Robots\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential guide to all of it: both AI and the future of our economy, our politics, our lives. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348791140656,"sku":"BDekkm","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49348791238960,"sku":"ZEekkm","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/399644-ekkm-Square.jpg?v=1734234077","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ekkm","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
