Overview
At a time when artificial intelligence is invading our lives, concerns are heightening:
Could AI be pursuing aims that are incompatible with our human values?
Could it, one day, exceed all human understanding and subjugate humanity by digital means?
Could it be misused to establish a global dictatorship, should it fall into the wrong hands?
All these perplexing questions can no longer be resolved by just saying “‘it all depends on what we do about it’.
With his unique, straightforward and passionate style, Cédric Villani invites us to demythologise artificial intelligence and to focus collectively on a central question:
Do we want AI to remain a tool that serves humankind, or do we accept the risk of it becoming a force that surpasses us?
