In the coming Age of Artificial Intelligence, what will be the role of humans?

This important book offers one of the first real looks at the future now in front of us - a future of almost limitless possibility, along with very complex new challenges -- Sam Altman

Kissinger, Mundie and Schmidt provide the deepest reflections we yet have on the opportunities and challenges posed by the looming AI-shaped global system. Readers of their book will learn something profoundly important. Before we can even think about new policies regarding AI, we will need to develop new conceptions of human reason and humanity itself. This book was Henry Kissinger's final work. It may well prove his most prophetic and important. It is profoundly important reading

-- Larry Summers
The next great technological revolution - in artificial intelligence - is already happening. While much of the conversation is about what AI can do and where AI will go, this book brilliantly reframes the discussion. How will human beings relate to AI? How does this thrilling, terrifying new scientific explosion change our conception of what it means to be human. You would expect a profound book given the three authors involved - and you will get it -- Fareed Zakaria

Genesis is vital reading for anyone seeking to understand how AI will reshape our world and what it takes to remain human in the age of intelligent machines -- Ian Bremmer
Genesis is thought-provoking in the best way - a much needed exploration of AI's implications for humanity's progress and what makes us human.
