Possible Minds?: But What If the Minds Are Impossible? [1]

[ Thu. May. 2. 2019 ]

In Possible Minds: [4] Twenty-Five Ways of Looking at AI (2019), prominent science literary agent John Brockman [5] has put together a more eclectic mix of experts than Martin Ford [6] did in Architects of Intelligence [7] (2018). Brockman’s choices include multiverse proponent Max Tegmark, [8] evolutionary psychology icon Steven Pinker [9], and materialist philosopher Daniel Dennett. [10] That the two books came out only months apart, with only three overlapping experts, testifies to public interest in the topic. . . .

At Inc., Possible Minds is rated as business book #2 for 2019 (already!) and expertly buzzed: [11] “Should we trust something potentially smarter than us? What is humanity’s role in a world ruled by algorithms?” . . .
