Synopsis

As thinking machines make more decisions on our behalf, they can enrich, enable, and influence our lives. Whether in medicine, money, or love, technologies powered by forms of artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly prominent role in our lives. How do we ensure they make the most beneficial choices for us? And if one person benefits at another's expense, who gets to decide what's best? The increasing use of AI raises critical questions about our values, cultures, economies, and power relationships. And the answers may depend upon your race, gender, age, behavior, and nationality. In clear and accessible prose, Olaf Groth and Mark Nitzberg explore the history of intelligent technology, revealing how close we are to designing machines that have some sort of consciousnessand that we must now decide how to give those machines a conscience. Simultaneously thrilling and provocative, Solomons Code raises difficult questions that need to be considered given the speed of technological development.

The authors take a fundame......more

Goodreads review by John on March 26, 2019

Reading it was like crawling through the sand in the Sahara - dry, repetitive and monotonous. Other than the three C's, I personally did not learn anything from the multitude of repetitive examples throughout the entire book.......more

Goodreads review by Alan on February 22, 2020

This was a very good book which I started over a year ago but ended up putting aside and never getting back around to as I tend to read multiple books at the same time. In any case, I finally finished it and my delay in doing so is certainly no blight on the content. Indeed, as one of my business sc......more
