دانلود کتاب چگونه در دنیای هوشمند باهوش بمانیم – چرا هوش انسانی هنوز الگوریتم ها را شکست می دهد؟

Imagine a digital assistant who does everything better than you. Whatever you say, it knows better. Whatever you decide, it will correct. When you come up with a plan for next year, it will have a superior one. At some point you may give up making any personal decisions on your own. Now it’s the AI that efficiently runs your finances, writes your messages, chooses your romantic partner, and plans when it’s best to have children. Packages will be delivered to your door containing products you didn’t even know you needed. A social worker may turn up because the digital assistant predicted that your child is at risk of severe depression. And before you waste time agonizing over which political candidate you favor, your assistant will already know and cast your vote. It’s just a matter of time until tech companies run your life, and the faithful assistant morphs into a supreme superintelligence. Like a flock of sheep, our grandchildren will cheer or tremble in awe of their new master. In recent years, I have spoken at many popular artificial intelligence (AI) events and am repeatedly surprised at how widespread unconditional trust in complex algorithms appears to be. No matter what the topic was, representatives of tech companies assured listeners that a machine will do the job more accurately, more quickly, and more cheaply. What’s more, replacing people by software might well make the world a better place. In the same vein, we hear that Google knows us better than we know ourselves and that AI can predict our behavior almost perfectly, or soon will be able to do so. Tech companies proclaim this ability when they offer their services to advertisers, insurers, or retailers. We too tend to believe it. Even those popular authors who paint doomsday pictures of robots ripping the guts out of humans assume the near omniscience of AI, as do some of the tech industry’s most outspoken critics, who brand the business as evil surveillance capitalism and fear for our freedom and dignity.1 It is this belief that makes many worry about Facebook (now renamed Meta) as a terrifying Orwellian surveillance machine. Data leaks and the Cambridge Analytica scandal have amplified this worry into fearful awe. Based on faith or fear, the story line remains the same. It goes like this: AI has beaten the best humans in chess and Go. Computing power doubles every couple of years. Therefore, machines will soon do everything better than humans.
