Castos https://something-new-audiobook.castos.com The Technological Singularity is the hypothetical moment in which artificial intelligences will be able to modify themselves. They will be able to choose their own objectives and adopt the best methods to achieve them, thus changing the face of the planet and the course of history. What can we do? How should we adapt to this new reality? It is tempting to align oneself with the wisdom of the stance that there is nothing new under the sun. But once in a while there are truly new things around us, and it is crucially important to recognize them and to be able to properly understand them. The forthcoming era of artificial intelligences is such a fundamental new component in our world. This book covers the themes of technology, artificial intelligence and the evolution of the individual and society.
