Technology is just a tool to permit humans to perform new tasks as well as existing tasks better, faster and cheaper. However, as technology improves, so do the opportunities for its use in more divergent ways as a force for both good and evil. The book delves into the inevitable clash of these opposing forces, painting a vivid picture of the technology wars that loom on the horizon, seemingly unstoppable by human intervention alone.

Amidst this battle, AI emerges as a potential bridge between the warring factions. However, the biases instilled in AI by its human creators raise the question of whether it can truly serve as an impartial mediator or if it will simply choose sides based on its own discretion. The author ponders whether granting AI the autonomy to develop new capabilities, free from human control, is the key to overcoming the forces of evil or if it is a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

This book takes readers on a captivating journey, examining the potential consequences of unchecked technological progress over the coming centuries. It serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the delicate balance between the benefits and risks of advanced technology, leaving readers to contemplate the future that awaits humanity.

About the Author

Alan Leibert does not like being called a computing pioneer although he started in the industry when computers filled vast computer halls with a mountain of strange whirring and clicking devices, all aimed at calculation 2+2 faster than a man could run 100 yards. Since then, he has lived through a myriad of changes delivering orders of magnitude in price and size reduction coupled with outstanding increases in processing power. K has become Mega and now Giga. Social networking takes us into a new era in which the technology is assumed and its wide use by society as a whole introduces new moral issues to bear based upon an 'If you can think of it, you can do it' attitude which can clearly be seen as both a force for good and as a force for evil. AI takes us a stage further where human override and control may be lost. This book examines the consequences of such possibilities.
