The Handover: How We Gave Control of Our Lives to Corporations, States and AIs

內容簡介

內容簡介 「奇點」是矽谷對未來的預測，認為最終我們會被能自主決策和行動的機器所取代。然而這事實已經發生過一次。幾百年前，人類開始建立現在主宰我們世界的「機器」：國家和企業。這些強大的人工實體擁有超出任何個人能力的資源，並且不會死亡。它們讓我們比幾代人之前更富裕、更安全、更健康，但也可能毀滅我們。《The Handover》(交出自主權)濃縮了三百多年的思考精華，探討如何與這些人工智能的實體共處。The Singularity' is what Silicon Valley calls the idea that, eventually, we will be overrun by machines that are able to take decisions and act for themselves. What no one says is that it happened before.A few hundred years ago, humans started building the robots that now rule our world. They are called states and corporations: immensely powerful artificial entities, with capacities that go far beyond what any individual can do, and which, unlike us, need never die.They have made us richer, safer and healthier than would have seemed possible even a few generations ago - and they may yet destroy us. The Handover distils over three hundred years of thinking about how to live with artificial agency.
