<b>A <i>WALL STREET JOURNAL, WASHINGTON POST,</i> AND <i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i> BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR<br/></b><b><br/>In this ground-breaking blend of imaginative storytelling and scientific forecasting, a pioneering AI expert and a leading writer of speculative fiction join forces to answer an imperative question: How will artificial intelligence change our world within twenty years?</b><br/><br/>AI will be the defining development of the twenty-first century. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education through human-machine symbiosis, and create brand new forms of communication and entertainment. In liberating us from routine work, however, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order. Meanwhile, AI will bring new risks in the form of autonomous weapons and smart technology that inherits human bias. AI is at a tipping point, and people need to wake up-both to AI's radiant pathways and its existential perils for life as we know it.<br/><br/> In this provocative, utterly original work of "scientific fiction," Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Google China and bestselling author of <i>AI Superpowers</i>, joins forces with celebrated novelist Chen Qiufan to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI.
