What to Think About Machines That Think: Today's Leading Thinkers on the Age of Machine Intelligence – Essays on Artificial Intelligence and Human Destiny (Edge Question Series)

Weighing in from the cutting-edge frontiers of science, todayâ‚¬s most forward-thinking minds explore the rise of â‚¬Å“machines that think.â‚¬Â
Stephen Hawking recently made headlines by noting, â‚¬Å“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.â‚¬Â Others, conversely, have trumpeted a new age of â‚¬Å“superintelligenceâ‚¬Â in which smart devices will exponentially extend human capacities.

In that spirit, John Brockman, publisher of Edge. org (â‚¬Å“the worldâ‚¬s smartest websiteâ‚¬Â â‚¬â€œ The Guardian), asked the worldâ‚¬s most influential scientists, philosophers, and artists one of todayâ‚¬s most consequential questions: What do you think about machines that think?
