Description



About the Book



"The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI delves deep into the concept of singularity, described as "the final narcissistic injury of mankind (FNI)," and introduces the idea of creating "Artificial Conscious Entities (ACEs)" as a means to cope with the potential singularity. This groundbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on the potential convergence of humanity and technology, shedding light on the ethical, social, and scientific implications of this transformation. Written by Anders Inset, Norwegian-born philosopher and 3x Spiegel bestseller, and Dr. Florian Neukart, physicist, computer scientist, and business executive, this book explores a myriad of timely topics including"--



Book Synopsis



Understand humanity's opportunity to create Artificial Conscious Entities in response to the singularity

The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI is a comprehensive exploration of how the fusion of biology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence can lead to the creation of Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI) as a conscious response to the unconscious development of superintelligence. You will learn about how:

  • Singularity highlights the tension between the boundless possibilities of technological advancement and the potential loss of human autonomy, control, and relevance.
  • AHI may become essential in navigating this singularity and preventing the severe consequences that could arise.
  • The convergence of humanity and technology, shedding light on the ethical, social, and scientific implications of this transformation is taken on with a fresh perspective.

Written by Anders Indset and Florian Neukart, The Singularity Paradox is a must-read read for anyone interested in the future of technology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and philosophy, as well as humanity's not-so-distant future, where science fiction may become reality.



From the Back Cover



OUR NEXT STEP OF EVOLUTION AT THE NEXUS OF THE SINGULARITY AND ARTIFICIAL HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

What lies ahead when the fusion of biology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence births Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI)? The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI explores how AHIs emerge as conscious answers to the unconscious acceleration of superintelligence.

In this visionary work, the authors unveil how AHI could become humanity's guiding force through the singularity, ensuring that progress aligns with human values rather than diminishing our autonomy and relevance. The book provides a bold perspective on the convergence of technology and humanity, illuminating its far-reaching scientific, ethical, and societal implications.

Renowned philosopher Anders Indset and pioneering scientist and business leader Dr. Florian Neukart craft a compelling narrative that bridges disciplines from artificial intelligence and neuroscience to philosophy and the arts. Together, they paint a vivid picture of humanity's not-so-distant future, where the boundaries between science fiction and reality dissolve.

This is a must-read for anyone curious about the transformative potential of technology and the profound questions it raises about the essence of humanity. Will we rise to the challenge and shape our evolution--or watch as the singularity shapes us?
