How Big Tech and AI Are Changing the Future of Humanity
The Big Nine by Amy Webb is an interesting look at how nine digital companies Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, IBM, Microsoft (U.S.), and Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent (China) are determining the future of artificial intelligence and, by extension, the future of human civilization.
Webb, a well-known futurist and professor of strategic foresight, gives a fascinating look at how AI is being pushed in ways that will endanger human freedoms, democracy, and global stability unless we do something about it.
This book asks individuals, leaders, and policymakers to think about how we design and manage AI technology in a new way by presenting three carefully thought-out scenarios: hopeful, pragmatic, and disastrous.
