Product Description
Product Description
Kevin Warwick has created robots with the brain power of a wasp, and may soon have built robots which are not only more intelligent than humans in some ways, but also superior in their practical skills. In this book he argues that humans may be at the mercy of these life forms, and be treated in the same way as humans treat animals today. He proposes that there is an urgent need for an anti-proliferation treaty to prevent these and other even more horrifying scenarios.

Format:Paperback
Kevin Warwick is a highly erudite and knowledgeable scientist who is (or was)the robotics professor at Readimg University. He makes a compelling argument on the dangers of the continuing development of Artificial Intelligence, (which will undoubtedly go on because as Warwick says "We can, and we will". it's many years since I read his book and I want to do so again, and also buy it for my children, I think that now they are responsible adults they need to know of this threat that could well sideswipe us into some sort of living hell, or death. There have been many scientific advances since this foresighted book was written, and some popular films made on this very subject, It hasnn't gone amiss from public consciousnessand that these films are in some way pre-emptive of a possible outcome regarding the extinction of Homo Sapiens by machine intelligence, which is the subject of this very powerful book. I'll be interested to see how much closer we may be to this threatening disaster, by looking at modern advances regarding robtics and AI. (Although I have my doubts that a lot of data is available)
To all those who are interested in the dangers we may be in regarding A.I. this is a must read.
