Your Job Will Soon be Taken Over by an Intelligent Life Form
PUERTO DE SANTIAGO, TENERIFE, SPAIN, November 1, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ --
Speculative Fiction writer Tony Thorne MBE's book, THE SINGULARITY IS COMING, was published in the Chinese language only 5 months ago and its paperback version is now in its second print run.
The original English version of the book was self-published by the 90 year old London born writer, back in August 2014, using Amazon's Print on Demand publishing operation, Createspace, followed by an updated eBook version for Amazon's popular Kindle eBook reader.
Around the middle of 2015 the Acquisitions Manager of Posts and Telecommunications Press, the IT Books Division of the Chinese Ministry of Information in Beijing, discovered the book while browsing the Internet. Looking for an easy-to-read title about the coming robot revolution, his search resulted in a Chinese publishing contract with the author for paperback, hard cover, and eBook editions.
BOOK CONTENTS
Artificial (General) Intelligence, or AGI will be with us soon to change our way of life completely, following on from the impressive Smart Devices we enjoy today. Even more incredible developments are coming, and then more and more again, leading first to computers with AGI, (Artificial General Intelligence). Robotic machines far more intelligent than we are, and able to do any jobs that humans can do, faster, better and for much longer. Many experts believe they will also have awareness, and the ability to replicate themselves a lot faster than we do. They will continue to develop their “learning” software, leading inevitably to ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence). The runaway consequences of that irreversible singularity and the events leading up to it, will change our lives dramatically. Nothing will be the same again. Will we be ready for such a devastating situation? Can we prevent it? The latest edition of this easy to read book, explains what is soon about to happen. It also includes “For and Against” comments and arguments by many international experts in the field, plus sections describing the latest developments and speculations about what is to come in the very near future, plus a comprehensive further reading list, with reviews.
