But 10 minutes into this book, Genesis, all such doubts vanished from my mind.
To start with, most books and essays about AI have a grim common theme: AI will put many, many people in today's world out of jobs, with authors differing on whether it's all jobs or only jobs in some specific industries or at some specific levels. Then, other AI books are written by millennials and are aimed at other millennials and try and walk them through the correct coding procedures for AI and the like.
This book is lead-written by the late Henry Kissinger, the American National Security Adviser for President Nixon during the conflict-ridden Vietnam War era. His co-authors are Eric Schmidt, the chief executive officer of Google for a decade during its formative years, and Craig Mundie, who headed research in Microsoft in its early years. So, one can safely conclude that anything that this experienced trio writes has to be something wise and not the usual tech hype about AI.
