Riassunto

This volume represents the combination of two special issues of the Journal of Consciousness Studies on the topic of the technological singularity. Could artificial intelligence really out-think us, and what would be the likely repercussions if it could? Leading authors contribute to the debate, which takes the form of a target chapter by philosopher David Chalmers, plus commentaries from the likes of Daniel Dennett, Nick Bostrom, Ray Kurzweil, Ben Goertzel, Frank Tipler, among many others. Chalmers then responds to the commentators to round off the discussion.

Recensione

"THIS is a timely and provocative anthology on a theme that has fascinated scientists, philosophers and SF writers for decades... Uziel Awret and colleagues have provided an excellent starting point to greater understanding of this vital theme."

--Andrew Hedgecock "Morning Star "

THIS is certainly the best book about the singularity. It features 26 intelligent scholars from 11 widely varying disciplines, all of them valiantly grappling with ghosts. --Bruce Sterling, New Scientist 9th November 2016
