Die Welt steht vor enormen Umwalzungen, kunstliche Intelligenz ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten, sie wird jede Dimension des menschlichen Lebens verandern. Zeit also, sich mit den Folgen, den Chancen und auch den Risiken dieser Technologie naher zu beschaftigen. In seinem neuen Buch prasentiert Bestsellerautor Martin Ford eine beeindruckende Vision unserer Zukunft. Klimawandel, die nachste Pandemie, Energie- und Suwasserknappheit, Armut und mangelnder Zugang zu Bildung - bei all diesen Problemen kann der Einsatz von KI zur Losung beitragen, in den falschen Handen aber auch tiefgreifenden Schaden anrichten. Ford trennt Hype und Sensationslust von der Realitat und entwickelt einen Leitfaden, wie wir alle in der Zukunft, die wir gerade gemeinsam schaffen, erfolgreich sein konnen.

Winner of the 2015 FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award A New York Times Bestseller Top Business Book of 2015 at Forbes One of NBCNews.com 12 Notable Science and Technology Books of 2015What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? As technology continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary. Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making good jobs" obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working- and middle-class families ever further. At the same time, households are under assault from exploding costs, especially from the two major industries,education and health care,that, so far, have not been transformed by information technology. The result could well be massive unemployment and inequality as well as the implosion of the consumer economy itself. The past solutions to technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren't going to work. We must decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality and economic insecurity. Rise of the Robots is essential reading to understand what accelerating technology means for our economic prospects,not to mention those of our children,as well as for society as a whole.
