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?

Aus dem Klappentext

The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI takes us to the edge of the technological singularity--a moment when advancements in science and technology redefine the boundaries of human existence. Central to this exploration is the development of Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI), humanity's conscious response to the rise of superintelligence, and a potential lifeline for preserving what it means to be human.

Unlike Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which seeks to create consciousness from scratch in machines, AHIs begin with an undeniable advantage: they start as humans, carrying consciousness as an inherent trait. Through the advanced integration of artificial components, AHIs gradually enhance and extend human consciousness, transcending biological limitations while maintaining individuality.

In this groundbreaking book, Norwegian philosopher and four-time Spiegel bestselling author Anders Indset teams up with Dr. Florian Neukart, a physicist, computer scientist, and visionary business leader. Together, they unveil the intricate process of transforming the human brain through cutting-edge technologies and challenge readers to reimagine life, identity, and existence.

This thought-provoking narrative goes beyond science and technology, intertwining timeless philosophical theories with scientific insights. It sheds light on the ethical, societal, and existential implications of AHIs, raising profound questions about our place in a rapidly changing world.

With a unique blend of intellect and imagination, The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand and shape the next chapter of human evolution.
