Artificial Intelligence and the Environmental Crisis: Can Technology Really Save the World?

商品描述

A radical and challenging book which argues that artificial intelligence needs a completely different set of foundations, based on ecological intelligence rather than human intelligence, if it is to deliver on the promise of a better world. This can usher in the greatest transformation in human history, an age of re-integration. Our very existence is dependent upon our context within the Earth System, and so, surely, artificial intelligence must also be grounded within this context, embracing emergence, interconnectedness and real-time feedback. We discover many positive outcomes across the societal, economic and environmental arenas and discuss how this transformation can be delivered.

 

Key Features:

  • Identifies a key weakness in current AI thinking, that threatens any hope of a better world.
  • Highlights the importance of realizing that systems theory is an essential foundation for any technology that hopes to positively transform our world.
  • Emphasizes the need for a radical new approach to AI, based on ecological systems.
  • Explains why ecosystem intelligence, not human intelligence, offers the best framework for AI.
  • Examines how this new approach will impact on the three arenas of society, environment and economics, ushering in a new age of re-integration.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本激進且具挑戰性的書籍，主張人工智慧需要建立在生態智慧而非人類智慧的基礎上，才能實現創造更美好世界的承諾。這將引領人類歷史上最大的轉型，一個重新整合的時代。我們的存在完全依賴於地球系統中的背景，因此，人工智慧必須也要扎根於這個背景中，擁抱新興性、相互聯繫和即時反饋。我們將發現在社會、經濟和環境領域中有許多積極的結果，並討論如何實現這種轉型。

主要特點：
- 突顯了當前人工智慧思維中的一個關鍵弱點，威脅到實現更美好世界的任何希望。
- 強調了認識到系統理論是任何希望積極轉變我們世界的技術的基礎的重要性。
- 強調了對人工智慧的激進新方法的需求，基於生態系統。
- 解釋了為什麼生態系統智慧而非人類智慧提供了最佳的人工智慧框架。
- 探討了這種新方法將如何影響社會、環境和經濟三個領域，引領一個新的重新整合時代。
