Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
MIT physicist Max Tegmark's wide-angle look at how artificial intelligence could reshape work, war, justice, and what it means to be human, and how to steer it toward the best outcomes.
Tegmark, a physicist at MIT, steps back from the day-to-day AI headlines to ask the biggest question: if we succeed in building machines as capable as us or more so, what kind of future do we actually want? He sorts the possibilities into a dozen scenarios, from utopian to catastrophic, and lays out the concrete choices, about goals, control, and values, that will decide which one we get. It became a touchstone for the debate over how to keep advanced AI aligned with human interests.
