An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grandmasters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality.
The transformative power of AI calls for thoughtful regulation and policies that ensure its responsible and equitable deployment, and society must grapple with questions of ethics, privacy, and the potential impacts on the labor market. The Age of AI serves as an indispensable guide, illuminating the opportunities and risks that lie ahead and offering insights into how we can navigate this new frontier.
In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers—Eric Schmidt, Henry Kissinger, and Daniel Huttenlocher—have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.
