A clear roadmap through the wild world of AI.

Educational and Thought-Provoking

This book is a great way to learn about the history of AI and how it’s evolved to where we are today. It does a solid job of explaining the basics—like machine learning and robots—while also diving into more advanced topics like quantum AI and super intelligence. It’s definitely educational and helps you get a clearer idea of what AI could mean for the future. Some parts are purely speculative, but it’s interesting to think about the possibilities and kinda mind blowing.

A very thourough study on AI.

I love AI so far, and I am using it regularly. But I have always wondered where it will end. Which direction are we going with it?
I just suffered from a leg injury where I was bedbound, so I thought that now I have time to listen to this lengthy audiobook.
This book made me realize that AI is not just starting out yet; the concept started thousands of years ago. The author did his homework on this topic, and it went to places I hadn't even thought about. For example, how did they use AI in wars? It is very eye-opening and thoroughly explains everything to you. These are things that the average person has no idea about. I can highly recommend it. After reading this book, you will learn a lot and look at AI from a different perspective. Very well worth it.

The Intriguing Merge of Humanity and AI

How AI Will Shape Our Future presents a compelling thesis that humans and artificial intelligence are on a path toward merging in significant ways. Throughout the 18 hours of this audiobook, Pedro Uria-Recio explores the fascinating idea that our future may not only involve coexisting with AI but also integrating it into our own species in unprecedented ways, resulting in a blend of Humanity and AI.

Will Stauff's narration enhances this exploration, making complex concepts like brain-computer interfaces and enhanced cognitive abilities feel more relatable. The discussion around how this merger could redefine what it means to be human is both intriguing and a bit unsettling, provoking thought about the ethical implications and potential benefits of such a transformation.

While the book does an excellent job of discussing this transformative potential, some segments can feel a bit drawn out, which might cause listeners to lose focus on the core message. But I have to say I loved this audio book

An extended look into the future

I was not aware of all the implications of the incorporation of AI in the age we live in. This audiobook covers all aspects of it from the philosophical/ethical to the more unsuspected applications and where we are going as humanity in relation to AI. This book blew my mind. It is quite a long book, but it is worth listening to it calmly and more than once. I'm sure it will completely change your view or idea about AI. It is a very complete work that I highly recommend.

In-Depth, Fascinating and Concerning

Listening was like having a road map to the future - showing both the potential light and dark sides of AI's revolution. The author takes a detailed approach about how AI will affect our jobs, politics, economy, and even more complex areas like biology and spirituality. Fascinating to learn about the background of AI, linking its development to events like the dot com boom and the financial crisis, showing AI hasn't just appeared. The author's perspectives on AI management and challenging ideas from 'world' organisations is food for thought. The 3 possible outcomes looming ahead, only 1 is desirable. The recommended framework for achieving it is essential to know for the benefit of us all. To sum up, this book is perfect for anyone who wants a thorough look at the artificial intelligence-driven changes ahead and how we all can play a role in shaping them.

Comprehensive resource!

This audiobook is a comprehensive book, 18 hours in length. The book is divided into five parts, starting with part one covering the myths of AI. Part two, The New Mind, talks about how AI developed over the years, beginning with the first computer, machine learning, dot com, and the rise of AI. Part three covers The New Body, starting with the mechanical automation and industrial revolution to the evolution of robotics, which I found very interesting. Part four covers the transition period, and part five discusses quantum computing and superintelligence, where it gets very interesting. I found this book very informative and educational, and a great resource in terms of getting updated on the evolution of AI and its capability - highly recommended if you are interested in the

an incredible guide and interesting angle into AI

This is an eye opening book that got me thinking about where we are headed with AI. sure we see a lot of applications of AI these days, it creates words, it creates photos, and now it creates videos too. Some deepfake photos and videos are concerning. but it doesn't stop the development of AI. and once the machine or the algorithm is strong enough to take over, are we heading towards what used to be illustrated in the sci fi movies that the AI controls the world. so reading this book really brought me a lot deep thoughts. i really enjoyed it.
