Description: "Artificial intelligence is inescapable: at home, at work, in politics, and on the battlefield. In The Cybernetic Society, technologist Amir Husain argues that AI hasn't simply encroached on everything we do. It has become part of us, and we, it. Humans and intelligent machines, he argues, are enmeshed in a symbiotic hybrid that he calls a "cybernetic society." Husain describes a present and future where AI isn't a tool of humans but our equal partner, one where they can realize their own visions of the world."--
Review Quotes: "Human beings became the dominant species on planet earth, surpassing their fellow apes, because they mastered technology. And technology was always a good servant. Now we finally face the prospect of technology dominating humans. Amir Husain explains how and why these new dangers have emerged and how to prepare for them. With his unique multi-cultural background, he provides new insights we must reflect on. A must-read."--Kishore Mahbubani, former Singapore Ambassador and author of Living the Asian Century
