Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max TegmarkMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A very interesting read on Artificial Intelligence that I thoroughly enjoyed. Informative and well-researched, with a lot of credibility behind it. I followed some of the sources to even more interesting readings, fairly niche but noteworthy. Very cool.
I think it was a little fast in places and a little bit hand-wavey in places. Assumptions here and there that were slightly unacknowledged. More importantly, however, some of the bigger questions felt as if they were answered more authoritatively than appropriate, especially the big ones with consciousness and intelligence. To be fair, it is clearly acknowledged that the definitions are restrictive and non-universal. Still, the rhetoric of it makes it feel more definitive than it is.
There’s a lot of questions raised. A lot of places to go from here. I really enjoyed reading it, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in AI.
