The Age of AI and Our Human Future

Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher consider what follows when decisions that have always shaped human societies begin to be made with machine assistance. The Age of AI and Our Human Future approaches artificial intelligence from diplomacy, computing and academic leadership at once, which keeps the discussion on consequences rather than engineering. The authors examine security and warfare, the erosion of shared factual ground, the position of human judgement when systems outperform it, and the institutions that might govern any of this. The tone stays measured, the argument is non-technical, and the conclusion is a call for new frameworks rather than a forecast. The practical side: • Three authors from diplomacy, technology and academia in one argument • Focus on geopolitics, security, ethics and democratic stability • Non-technical treatment suitable for readers outside computing • A case for new institutions to govern machine decision-making For policymakers, educators and general readers following technology debates.
