Publisher's Synopsis
From the author of The Last AI - "Spreading the word on AI adoption"
People may hear AI is going to change the world.
But what is going to change? How is it going to change our lives? What should we do?
In the 69 Controversies of AI Adoption, author S. M. Sohn brings up a wide range of controversial topics related to AI adoption, to help readers imagine what AI may bring to our future and examine the realm of possibilities.
We may think of controversies related to AI as either about the forecast, or predictions of what is going to happen, and about the decisions, or what kinds of actions we should take.
Forecast: How soon will we reach AGI? How intelligent will AI become? Will ASI be friendly to humanity?
Decision: Should we accelerate or decelerate the development of AGI? Should we ban development of AGI?
The organization of the controversies takes its inspiration from the Korean flag, which may be thought of as the map of the universe. The number "69" represents the accelerating and decelerating forces in AI, and takes from the center circle. People may be familiar with this concept as "Eum" (decelerating) and "Yang" (accelerating), where two opposing forces balance each other.
Examples of the Center of Controversies:
Accelerating Force: development in AI technology
Decelerating Force: regulations to mitigate AI risks
The controversies are organized into 8 directions, which take from the outer bars of the Korean flag. The hope is that this organization will help readers find the areas they are interested in.
1. AI and Individuals
2. AI and Family
3. AI and Businesses
4. AI and Society
5. AI and Economy
6. AI and Government
7. AI and the World
8. AI and the Universe
If the goal of The Last AI was to help people share their ideas with common vocabulary, the goal of this book is to help readers develop their own views and own strategies to prepare the future.
In this sense, this is a book that raises more questions than we can answer.
