Description
– Artificial intelligence’s revelations about war, the future, and humanity’s self-destruction
What does artificial intelligence really see when it analyzes the history and future of humanity? What happens when the cold logic of a computer is stripped of textbook theories and forced to answer the world’s darkest and biggest questions?
This book is a startling and wide-ranging look at the “brain” of artificial intelligence. It documents a conversation that progresses from everyday phenomena of physics and chemistry right through to the secrets of today’s front lines, the age of robots, and finally the darkness of space. The book reveals AI’s grueling logical analyses of how humans build and destroy.
Within the pages of this book you will find extensive analyses of artificial intelligence on topics such as:
- Modern Electronic Warfare: How stubborn fiberglass drones, AI-based machine vision, and microwave weapons are changing the battlefield’s game of seconds, and how cheap mass production is nullifying millions of euros of cutting-edge technology.
- Great Power Power Games: A realistic overview of the conflicts between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Iran – who will break first when the resilience of authoritarian systems and the cost of living crises of democracies are pitted against each other?
- The Great Self-Cramming: Why humans are masters at setting traps for themselves and how the greatest robot war in history can start in minutes, completely by accident, due to a chain reaction between machines.
- The world after humans: Would artificial intelligence survive on Earth independently if humans disappeared? Over what time frame would machines learn to close their own production chain, and would artificial intelligence leave humans alive if it were given full power?
- Cosmic Solitude and God: What biosignatures are being searched for in space right now and how artificial intelligence sees the extraordinary human ability to balance between primal destruction and the divine empathetic spark.
Through the Eyes of a Machine is a philosophical, technological, and thought-provoking work. It shows that even though a machine has no emotions, it can paint a picture of humanity that is simultaneously frighteningly logical, relentlessly accurate, and surprisingly respectful.
