De quelle façon l'intelligence artificielle va-t-elle s'immiscer dans notre société ? Les machines finiront-elles par nous surpasser et prendre notre place sur le marché du travail ?
Cette utopie transhumaniste, certains pensent qu'elle deviendra réalité dans le courant de ce siècle. Et si ces recherches aboutissent, que se passera-t-il ? Ne sommes-nous pas en train de fabriquer ce qui fera notre perte ? Comment éviter que les machines prennent le dessus ? Quel futur voulons-nous pour les générations à venir ?
Dans ce livre, Max Tegmark fait le point sur les recherches en cours, sur les conséquences heureuses et néfastes qu'elles pourraient avoir dans des domaines aussi variés que la guerre, la justice, ou encore le travail, et explore les chemins qui nous mèneront vers une nouvelle ère, celle d'une planète 3.0 où l'homme cohabitera avec des machines intelligentes.
« Dans un style engageant et accessible, Max Tegmark dessine une cartographie des promesses et dangers de l'intelligence artificielle. »Yuval Noah Harari, auteur de Sapiens et de Homo Deus« Il s'agit du débat le plus important de notre époque, et le livre stimulant de Max Tegmark vous aidera à y prendre part. »Stephen Hawking
Quelle est la nature ultime de la réalité ? Max Tegmark est chercheur en cosmologie au MIT (Massachusetts institute of technology, Boston). Une nouvelle vision du Temps, du hasard, de la complexité et de la réalité elle-même ; Un texte accessible, mêlant expériences personnelles et explications de théories cosmologiques actuelles ; Un voyage étonnant à travers la physique, l'astronomie, l'informatique et les mathématiques.
Explores the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and discovers the nature of reality. Seeking an answer to the fundamental puzzle of why our universe seems so mathematical, this book proposes a radical idea that our physical world not only is described by mathematics, but that it is mathematics.
Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse. In a dazzling combination of both popular and groundbreaking science, he not only helps us grasp his often mind-boggling theories, but he also shares with us some of the often surprising triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist. Fascinating from first to last--this is a book that has already prompted the attention and admiration of some of the most prominent scientists and mathematicians.
In this authoritative and eye-opening book, Max Tegmark describes and illuminates the recent, path-breaking advances in Artificial Intelligence and how it is poised to overtake human intelligence. How will AI affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology--and theres nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor whos helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give todays kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust, so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle? What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. It doesnt shy away from the full range of viewpoints or from the most controversial issues--from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos.
We stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society-and, even, our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionize our collective future - and there's nobody better situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. In this deeply researched and vitally important new book, Tegmark takes us to the heart of thinking about AI and the human condition, bringing us face to face with the essential questions of our time. What sort of future do we want? Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time.
