Chronicle Concering Books The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion
The Singularity is Coming. Will humanity survive? Many scientists predict that as early as 2024 an unprecedented event will happen that will completely change our lives. They aren’t talking about global warming or nuclear war, but technological singularity. They predict that a computer with artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be able to program its own software and redesign itself. This superintelligence will exceed all human understanding and will be beyond our control. In non-technical language, The Singularity is Coming clarifies what may happen and speculates about how it may affect us. It is a compilation of information that includes comments from experts, news announcements of the latest developments, and a comprehensive reading list. In the Facts to Prophetic Fiction section is a collection of speculative science fiction pieces and short stories including: GODLIKE: The ideal companion for lonely emigrant. EQUALITY: The laws say robots must protect humans, always...? BE HAPPY WHEN WE TAKE OVER: Know your limitations. Are we on the threshold of a new golden age? Some scientists are optimistic about the singularity and predict the new intelligence will create amazing advances. It may bring about longer, healthier lives, an end to crime, and a solution to world hunger. Others wonder where our place would be in the new order. Will this superintelligence include benevolence? Are we on the verge of a new beginning for humanity, or the end of life as we know it?

Tony Thorne MBE's "The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion" is a standalone short read. It holds a dire prediction for our future. It seems like Mr. Thorne is very well read and he cites a lot of very good literature on the subject of artificial intelligence. In some ways, this is a nice, short digest written in layman's terms for a lot of very heavy duty readings. It was definitely an interesting read and seems to dovetail with what I've been reading from Kurzweil andThe concept of artificial intelligence taking over humanity, or THE Singularity, is not a new idea. Classic science fiction novels, comics, TV, and movies played on the fears of invasions of robots, cyborgs, and other invaders bent to destroy human beings and take over the world. Those who survived fought to maintain control. I grew up wondering if a scenario like The Terminator could really happen, in which a computer and its creation of cyborgs could ever be more than entertainment. Also,
I really enjoyed this book. I read through it in about a day because it was so great. The author touches base on many interesting topics. The writing is easy to follow and very insightful. It's not everyday that I am able to find a book like this. I think the best part about this book was that it was so thought-provoking. It's been days since I read the book, but I'm still thinking of the issues that were presented in it. I'm recommending it to a few of my friends since I enjoyed it so much!
This is a futuristic or dystopian fiction ebook, but calling it 'science fiction' would be an insult because the assertions author makes are not just idle speculations a science fiction writer makes in his cocoon, but rather stuff which are backed by solid proof gleaned from the present. After reading this ebook, I would not be surprised if a Terminator-like creature is really invented someday. In fact, the seeds of the same are being sown right at present, as the author says; the machines which
This book examines the idea that we are living on borrowed time until the machines become smarter than we and take over (think Battlestar Gallactica). Actually, some heavy hitters in the world of computers share those concerns. This book is a compendium of ideas and articles, some the author's and some not, that promote the scary notion.
THE SINGULARITY IS COMING by Tony Thorne. Artificial Intelligence seemed science fiction when we were kids. However as we see the advances in technology it doesnt seem so fiction. You can tell the author has conducted a tremendous amount of research and thought on this topic. He has the ability to share it in terms that the layman can understand. He shares what it is and possible alternatives for how it could play out. The author goes on the share information from other publications and states
