راننده در خودرو بدون راننده: چگونه انتخاب‌های فناوری شما آینده را شکل می‌دهد

“[An] excellent and wide-ranging review of our responses to accelerating technological change” from the authors of Your Happiness Was Hacked ( Financial Times ). Tech experts Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever describe dozens of astonishing technological advances in this fascinating and thought-provoking book, which asks what kind of future lies ahead— Star Trek or Mad Max ? Breakthroughs such as personalized genomics, drones, self-driving vehicles, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, the same technologies raise the specter of a frightening future—eugenics, a jobless economy, a complete loss of privacy, and ever-worsening economic inequality. Wadhwa says that we need to ask three questions about every emerging technology: Does it have the potential to benefit everyone equally? What are the risks and the rewards? And does it promote autonomy or dependence? This edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on quantum computing, which promises vastly increased processing times—and vastly increased security risks. In the end, our future is up to us; our hands may not be on the wheel, but we will decide the driverless car’s destination. “Vivek raises one of the most important issues of our time—the use of technology to uplift rather than displace humans. His book provides an invaluable guide for assessing the benefits and risks of future technologies.” —Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft “Exponential technologies are about to transform every aspect of our lives . . . Vivek provides you a clear and authoritative blueprint for assessing their benefits and risks.” —Peter H. Diamandis, MD, New York Times -bestselling author of Bold A Computer Beats The Reigning Human Champion Of Go, A Game Harder Than Chess. Another Is Composing Classical Music. Labs Are Creating Life-forms From Synthetic Dna. A Doctor Designs An Artificial Trachea, Uses A 3d Printer To Produce It, And Implants It And Saves A Child's Life. Astonishing Technological Advances Like These Are Arriving In Increasing Numbers. Scholar And Entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa Uses This Book To Alert Us To Dozens Of Them And Raise Important Questions About What They May Mean For Us. Breakthroughs Such As Personalized Genomics, Self-driving Vehicles, Drones, And Artificial Intelligence Could Make Our Lives Healthier, Safer, And Easier. But The Same Technologies Raise The Specter Of A Frightening, Alienating Future: Eugenics, A Jobless Economy, Complete Loss Of Privacy, And Ever-worsening Economic Inequality. As Wadhwa Puts It, Our Choices Will Determine If Our Future Is Star Trek Or Mad Max. Wadhwa Offers Us Three Questions To Ask About Every Emerging Technology: Does It Have The Potential To Benefit Everyone Equally? What Are Its Risks And Rewards? And Does It Promote Autonomy Or Dependence? Looking At A Broad Array Of Advances In This Light, He Emphasizes That The Future Is Up To Us To Create--that Even If Our Hands Are Not On The Wheel, We Will Decide The Driverless Car's Destination.

Tech experts Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever describe dozens of astonishing technological advances in this fascinating and thought-provoking book, which asks what kind of future lies ahead— Star Trek or Mad Max? Breakthroughs such as personalized genomics, drones, self-driving vehicles, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, the same technologies raise the specter of a frightening future—eugenics, a jobless economy, a complete loss of privacy, and ever-worsening economic inequality. Wadhwa says that we need to ask three questions about every emerging technology: Does it have the potential to benefit everyone equally? What are the risks and the rewards? And does it promote autonomy or dependence? This edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on quantum computing, which promises vastly increased processing times—and vastly increased security risks. In the end, our future is up to us; our hands may not be on the wheel, but we will decide the driverless car's destination.

Technology is advancing faster than ever--but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technology developments such as personalized genomics, self-driving cars, drones, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future--eugenics, a jobless economy, a complete loss of privacy, and an ever-worsening spiral of economic inequality. How can we make appropriate decisions about whether and how to adopt new technologies? Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever propose that we ask three questions: Does the technology have the potential to benefit everyone equally? What are the risks and the rewards? Does the technology more strongly promote autonomy or independence? They subject a host of new and potential technologies to these questions, but ultimately it is up to the reader to make the final decision. -- Provided by publisher.
