Child adult robot book - The next master of the world - Karim Massimov - Fayard Hachette

Summary & Details

Imagine a fully digitalized city with intelligent video surveillance systems, automated energy and pollution controls, high-speed Internet and autonomous vehicles, serving public decision-making and the well-being of the population. We are almost there, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI).
This book, after having outlined its history, goes through its current and future developments, in a fascinating global overview. Far from the rebellious robots that science fiction imagines, the cases presented are both beneficial and close to us: the suggestion of Netflix films, commercial chatbots and virtual assistants increasing our comfort; tomorrow 4D printers, exoskeletons and organs created ex nihilo.
Karim Massimov, with his international expertise, outlines a model of global, sustainable, desirable development, and reveals the very essence of digital technologies, altruistic and creators of opportunities.
While AI has the potential to solve problems that affect all of humanity, it could also lead to annihilation. Hence this vigilance: we must support the march of scientific progress, while building tools now to protect ourselves against the risks associated with technology, starting by establishing a legal arsenal at an international level.
The reign of AI has already begun. It will improve the world, and faster than we think.
Karim Massimov was Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Kazakhstan. A doctor of economics, a polyglot, he also worked in banking. His work as a civil servant was decisive in the development of the capital Nursultan (former Astana), a dynamic, innovative and forward-looking city.
