The Age of AI: And Our Human Future

Machine intelligence has begun to shape decisions in war, medicine, law and education faster than the frameworks used to judge those decisions have adapted. Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher examine that gap, arguing that artificial intelligence alters the human relationship with knowledge as decisively as the Enlightenment once did. Their case moves between concrete examples, such as systems that arrive at strategies no human expert would choose, and broader questions about political order, security and what people will trust a machine to decide.
