The Digital Ape: How To Live (In Peace) With Smart Machines

How smart machines are transforming us all-and what we should do about it. 

The smart-machines revolution is reshaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of the leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of super-intelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we become Homo sapiens, and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control-in our private lives, in employment, in politics-and make the best of the wonderful opportunities, will determine our collective future well-being.
