Poverty, hunger, disease and political strife are widespread, and new technology is often held responsible, but now solutions to these problems are within sight, and the solutions are going to come from computers.
The authors' astonishing conclusion stems not from wishful thinking but from recent discoveries in the field of machine intelligence - that computers genuinely create new knowledge in a way that was long thought impossible.
This has profound implications not just for science but for the arts, philosophy, psychology, ethics and politics: in short, for every aspect of our society. The authors, a world-renowned research scientist in the field and a leading science journalist, address all these issues in a highly readable and thought-provoking way.
The cover photograph shows a still from the computer-animated film 9600 Bauds by Hervé Huitric and Monique Nahas

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
