Genesis. Artificial intelligence, hope, and the human spirit

Artificial intelligence is raising urgent questions about the future of humanity. In genesis, three eminent thinkers reveal the contours and the consequences. AI 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, revolutionize fields as diverse as medicine and architecture, and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights.
But it will also pose challenges that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. Whom will we choose to lead our species through this wilderness ? The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie, Genesis equips us to seize the opportunities presented by AI without falling prey to the darker forces it has unleashed.
