Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Power

5 Battlegrounds

By: Rajiv Malhotra

Narrated by: Rajat Verman

Artificial intelligence is only partially visible, just like an iceberg. To understand it fully, we must look beneath the surface. The positive side is that technology is making machines smarter. However, the deeper view explained in this book shows that AI is also making a growing number of people cognitively and psychologically dependent on digital networks.

Whether you are a social media fanatic, a diehard AI aficionado or a paranoid sceptic, it is impossible to escape the ubiquitous impact of AI. Artificial intelligence is the brains bringing together quantum computing, nanotechnology, medical technology, brain-machine interface, robotics, aerospace, 5G, Internet of Things, and more. It is amplifying human ingenuity and disrupting the foundations of health care, military, entertainment, education, marketing and manufacturing.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Power argues that this AI-driven revolution will have an unequal impact on different segments of humanity. There will be new winners and losers, new haves and have-nots, resulting in an unprecedented concentration of wealth and power.

After analyzing society's vulnerabilities to the impending tsunami, the book raises troubling questions that provoke immediate debate: is the world headed towards digital colonization by the USA and China? Will depopulation become eventually unavoidable?

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Power is a wakeup call to action, compelling public intellectuals to be better informed and more engaged. It educates the social segments most at risk and wants them to demand a seat at the table where policies on artificial intelligence are being formulated.

Insightful and in-depth analysis of AI technology

As always, Rajivji has written an insightful account of AI technology and how it will shape humans and India in the coming years.

Count Dracula Narrates a book on AI

Eat garlic, wear a cross, keep a wooden stake, and enjoy a fanastic book. More accessible than the book Superintelligence, which I'm going to listen to for a third time after I finish this book. This book encompasses the depth and breadth of AI as it is cross integrated through agriculture such as garlic farming, paper manufacturing from wood, even mirrors, bats, and silver ammunition.... Sorry I got side tracked..... the depth and breadth of all the little AIs that add up everywhere and the privacy we trade for convenience and how we should never allow AI to let people in the front door.

Eye opening

This book the problem, facing the world, and India, in particular, with the rise of artificial intelligence, that we can expect to see in as short as the next two years. Wild, the narration was clunky at times, it more than gets the job done and even does an okay job at reading out the tables presented in the book. Rajiv Malhotra is absolutely an intellectual giant and I cannot recommend this audiobook and the actual book itself as well, enough.

terrible narration

content is ok but reader is worst then computer voice taking away from ability to concentrate on the book
