AI MAZE: imagining artificial intelligence

2023 - WORK IN PROGRESS

WHY READ THIS BOOK?

Artificial intelligence will be the most transformative development in human history. More important than the printing press, the industrial revolution, and the internet. Our AI future will be incredible! …But first we must SURVIVE the next decade. 

Experts could always be wrong. The advance of AI could hit a technical wall and never fully develop… Nevertheless we owe it to ourselves and our families to prepare just in case. Because AI might not take your job, but someone else using AI will. Staying informed on AI’s advancement will feel like buying an insurance for your career.

IMAGINING AI

Throughout history artists, writers, filmmakers and other creatives have helped society imagine and understand our potential future in ways that a scientific paper or a government decree would have struggled to communicate. In a fast paced era of compounding technological transformation it will be key for creatives to play a role helping educate the population so we can all decide together the rules that will govern our future AI world.

A GUIDE FOR THE FUTURE

The book "AI MAZE" is the first detailed model of artificial intelligence’s impact across all aspects of our lives. From education to leisure, health to dying, reproduction to porn and the economy to war. The book seeks to answer the questions that should have been asked by those building AI. The subjects are organized in a chronological framework, reflecting AI’s impact on society over time. 

RE-THINKING THE BOOK

The only way to prepare for artificial super intelligence is to crowdsource human intelligence. Every page includes a unique QR code that allows readers to contribute their expertise by expanding on the problem or its solutions. Updated versions will be published regularly incorporating reader insights. These will be used to build conceptual models, test different simulations and explore strategies.
