Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Max Tegmark (3.5)
Tough book to read – due to technical content, story-telling flow and disturbing matters to consider. I liked the thought provoking ‘what-if’ scenarios which included things I had not considered before, but I felt the narrative strayed in the middle of the book to where I questioned the points being made. The author is definitely a thoughtful expert on AI, it’s current state and all the possible ways AI can progress. I particularly liked the first and last 20% of the book and wish there could be a shorter version for most readers. He ends with a relatively positive outlook that describes how a large group of AI experts are currently working on a framework to keep AI safe going forward. And encourages us to all be ‘mindful optimists’ with a goal to own technology (since it is here to stay) and not let it own us.
