AI-2041. Ten images of our future
29.99 €
Artificial intelligence will be the defining event of the 21st century. Within two decades, all aspects of everyday life will become unrecognizable. AI will lead to unprecedented wealth, the symbiosis of man and machine will revolutionize medicine and education, and create entirely new forms of communication and entertainment. However, while freeing us from routine work, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order. AI will bring new risks in the form of autonomous weapons and ambiguous smart technologies. AI is at a tipping point, and people need to recognize both its positive AI traits and the existential dangers it may bring. In this provocative, wholly original work, Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China and author of Artificial Intelligence Superpowers, teams up with celebrated novelist Chen Qiufan to envision our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten compelling stories, they will introduce readers to the possible new realities of 2041: In San Francisco, a "job redistribution" industry emerges as deep-learning AI causes massive job displacement; In Tokyo, a music lover immerses herself in an exciting form of celebrity worship based on virtual and mixed reality; In Mumbai, a teenage girl rebels when AI's big data compression gets in the way of romance; In Seoul, virtual companions with advanced natural language processing (NLP) skills offer orphaned twins new ways to communicate; In Munich, a fraudulent scientist uses quantum computing, computer vision, and other AI technologies in a revenge plot that endangers the entire world Looking toward the not-so-distant horizon, AI 2041 offers urgent insights into our collective future, reminding readers that, ultimately, humanity remains the author of its own destiny.

    As always, everything is great! I order books for the whole family several times already, and I am always happy with the result! The small bonus gifts are especially nice - you can feel the warmth and attentive attitude towards customers. The packaging is thought out to the smallest detail - even special foam corners are inserted into the box so that the valuable cargo is not damaged during transportation. Thank you for your work!

Today I received my first order with discounts in the online store, and I want to say - I am delighted!!! 1. It's super cool that you deliver to many countries, and also quite quickly, even with a lot of orders) P.S. My order was, for example, to Norway 2. I am very happy with your assortment. A large number of my wish list books are with you 3. It is easy to create a customer card with a permanent discount and there are often holiday discounts, and this is a huge plus for those who accumulate large baskets, since the savings are significant 4. Also, many thanks to you for the opportunity to pack certain books as a gift! And in general for such good packaging of the order 100% I will order from you again! I wish you a good mood ;)
