Hyperintelligence

In Hyperintelligence, a team of renowned technology, business, and investing professionals delivers a captivating exploration of the evolution of intelligence and a thought-provoking vision of a future in which AI takes centre stage. The book offers a unified, coherent theory for the cosmic development of complexity and intelligence, with AI playing a pivotal role in its future stages. Accessible and entertaining, Hyperintelligence acknowledges potential pitfalls, but chooses to highlight the enormous opportunities of AI and other technology. The authors rely on three general phenomena to characterize, analyse, and predict the development of cosmic complexity: complexity cascades, critical density, and creative pulse. Using these phenomena as a base, they rely on mathematical formulas to help you understand the innovation fuelling humanity's drive forward. Hyperintelligence tracks 13.8-billion-years of complexity, explaining how intelligence has changed and transformed over the millennia. It walks you through how contemporary and future technology will fit into this evolution, highlighting the "Swiss Army knife" nature of technological tools: useful, but with sharp edges that can be dangerous. Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders responsible for guiding their organisations into and through an uncertain future, Hyperintelligence will also earn a place in the libraries of entrepreneurs, consultants, professionals, and anyone else with an interest in the nature of intelligence and the role of AI in its evolution.
