About this listen

 Artificial Intelligence is transforming human society fundamentally and profoundly. Not since the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason have we changed how we approach knowledge, politics, economics, even warfare.

Three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society - and what it means for us all.

An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analysing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality.

In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.

Critic reviews

It should be read by anyone trying to make sense of geopolitics today (Financial Times)
A muscular contribution to one of the 21st century's most pressing debates (The Economist)
What it does - and does brilliantly - is illuminate the new problem we have created for ourselves (Niall Ferguson)
Absolutely masterful . . . the book we all need (Fareed Zakariya)
All stars
Most relevant
A pretty basic introduction to ai that didn’t uncover anything profound or thought provoking. Disappointing.

Content not as good as authors

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book makes an important point regarding our future with AI, however I feel like it could have made the same point in less.

Over stretched

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The reading is very monotone and there is nothing really new or exciting about the topic in the book.

Rather underwhelming

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The subject is complex and the text full of side notes, which makes it almost impossible to engage for more than 5 minutes. Terrible narration! I’ll be buying the hard copy of this book.

Hard to keep listening to this narrator

The topic is good and interesting. Some good questions and thought provoking concepts. Overall it could be a good read, but something is missing: not sure if it is the way it was written; or the way was read. At points, the voice seems simulated, not human. I am struggling to keep attention up.
