In 2017, the AlphaZero neural network became the best chess player. Knowing only the rules of the game, she was able to develop unique winning tactics in just 4 hours. Three years later, an artificial intelligence program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was able to solve a more difficult problem - developing a new type of antibiotic, halicin. It is capable of destroying bacteria that are resistant to all other drugs. Software training penetrates into all spheres of life: it is used in the transport industry, medicine, trade, finance, law enforcement and other areas. Neural networks can quickly come up with ideas and innovations that would take humans decades, if not a lifetime, to develop. Scientists hope that thanks to AI we will be able to solve global problems: find cures for deadly diseases, cope with hunger and low levels of education in certain regions, and safely explore the oceans and space. But the use of artificial intelligence can also have negative consequences, because many processes in its work remain incomprehensible to humans. The authors of this book have collected discussions about the opportunities and problems associated with the emergence of AI. They explain the radical changes that could occur in our history, understanding of the world and our role in it, and help us understand the impact of AI on the future of our society. Why Read • Understand how machine learning works; Learn what a future in which people collaborate with intelligent machines;• prepare for the potential dangers that may arise due to the misuse of AI;• understand how security and world order are being transformed. You will learn• what social, political, philosophical and ethical problems will arise for humanity in connection with the spread of AI; • how AI will influence international relations and the development of the defense industry; • what a war using AI will look like; • how the generation of “AI natives” will differ from modern people. For whom For philosophers, politicians, sociologists, public figures, engineers and everyone interested in the development of artificial intelligence.
