奇點已近: 當人類與AI融合一體

內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約時報》即時暢銷書 《時代》雜誌人工智慧領域百大最具影響力人物之一這部著名發明家與未來學家為其里程碑著作《奇點接近了》所撰寫的續作，探討了科技在未來幾十年將如何改造人類。自 2005 年首次出版以來，雷·庫茲維爾的《奇點接近了》及其對指數級未來的願景已引發一場全球性的運動。庫茲維爾對技術進步的預測大部分已成真，AI、智能機器和生物技術等概念現在已為公眾廣泛熟知。在這本全新的著作中，雷·庫茲維爾為邁向奇點的進展帶來了全新視角——評估了他 1999 年預測「AI 將於 2029 年達到人類水平智能」的進度，並檢視科技的指數級增長。在不久的將來，這將使人類智能擴張百萬倍，並永遠改變人類生活。他討論的主題包括：利用奈米機器人等裝置逐個原子地重組世界；將壽命極限激進地擴展至現有的 120 歲上限之外；透過將大腦連接到雲端來重塑智能；指數級科技如何推動所有產業的創新，並改善我們福祉的各個面向（如貧困與暴力的下降）；以及再生能源與 3D 列印的成長。他也思考了生物技術、奈米技術和人工智慧的潛在危險，包括當前具有爭議的主題，如 AI 對就業的影響、自動駕駛汽車的安全性，以及旨在透過結合數據與 DNA 來虛擬復活逝者的「來世」科技。作為六十年人工智慧研究的結晶，《奇點更近了》是雷·庫茲維爾對這門科學故事以及即將到來的革命之巔峰貢獻。AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERONE OF TIME’S 100 MOST INFLUENTUAL PEOPLE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEThe noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to comeSince it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public.In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA.The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come.
