Raising Machines: A New History of the Mind

What are the social and economic consequences of the development of machine intelligence, and how will our lives change in the coming decades? In answering these questions, renowned Russian expert in artificial intelligence Sergey Shumskiy employs a historical approach, tracking... the shifts in technological eras up to the present day.
The emergence of machine intelligence marks the beginning of a transition to a new order, a new digital economy. But this revolution, like any other, is fraught with numerous risks — from the loss of social stability in individual countries and on the international stage to existential challenges associated with the loss of control over one's own destiny by individuals and humanity as a whole. Therefore, it is crucial that artificial intelligence comes as close as possible to human social instincts and humanitarian values; consequently, the author insists on the need for a reliable practical program for the formation of humanoid artificial psyche and the development of a new science of machine upbringing.
You will learn that:
• An industrial society is incapable of sustaining more than 10 billion people, as it has reached its complexity limit.
• Without the creation of artificial intelligence in the coming years, humanity will simply not be able to manage without it.
• Artificial intelligence is a locking technology that paves the way for a transition to a new technological order.
• Digital platforms are the new cells of the future digital economy.
The book is intended for those who are interested in the future of our civilization and the fundamental changes in people's lives associated with the emergence and rapid development of artificial intelligence.
