In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joined forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration (says Walter Isaacson) of the epochal challenges & opportunities presented by the revolution in artificial intelligence-a breakthrough that they believe dramatically empowers people in all walks of life while also raising urgent questions about the future of humanity.
Kissinger & his coauthors, technologists Craig Mundie & Eric Schmidt, argue that as AI absorbs data, gains agency, & intermediates between humans & reality, it will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe & elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale & of an intensity that we have never seen-usurping our power of independent judgment & action, testing our relationship with the divine, & perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution.
Join us in person or online for this in-depth talk between Mundie & Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, about charting a course between blind faith & unjustified fear while navigating the age of AI.
