商品描述

A renowned computer scientist seeks the unique human quality that will prevail against artificial intelligence.

The greatest fear of AI is not that it rules out digital lives but that it displaces human intelligence entirely. If artificial intelligence takes over decision-making what, then, is unique and irreplaceable about human intelligence? The Atomic Human is a journey of discovery to the core of what it is to be human, in search of the qualities that cannot be replaced by the machine.

Neil Lawrence brings a timely, fresh perspective to this new, emerging era, recounting his personal journey to understand the riddle of intelligence. By understanding the essential element of what makes us human--the "atomic human"--Lawrence shows how AI can enable us to choose the future we want.

Lawrence persuasively shows that we can only control AI and decide what is right for society by understanding our intelligence and contrasting it against the new intelligence we are creating--an intelligence he describes as "helpless" without humans, even if unchecked it has the power to do great damage. By contrasting our own intelligence with the capabilities of machine intelligence through history, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities, and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded. Not just by the experts, but ordinary people.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

一位知名的計算機科學家尋求一種獨特的人類特質，這種特質將在人工智慧面前佔上風。人工智慧最大的恐懼不是它排除數位生命，而是它完全取代人類智慧。如果人工智慧接管決策，那麼人類智慧中有什麼是獨特且無法取代的呢？《原子人類》是一段探索之旅，旨在揭示成為人類的核心特質，尋找那些無法被機器取代的品質。

尼爾·勞倫斯（Neil Lawrence）為這個新興時代帶來了及時而新穎的視角，講述了他個人理解智慧謎題的旅程。通過理解使我們成為人類的基本要素——“原子人類”，勞倫斯展示了人工智慧如何使我們能夠選擇我們想要的未來。

勞倫斯有說服力地表明，我們只有通過理解我們的智慧，並將其與我們正在創造的新智慧進行對比，才能控制人工智慧並決定對社會什麼是正確的——這種智慧他形容為“無助”，即使在不受控制的情況下，它也有能力造成巨大損害。通過歷史上將我們自己的智慧與機器智慧的能力進行對比，《原子人類》揭示了人工智慧系統的技術起源、能力和局限性，以及它們應該如何被使用。不僅僅是由專家使用，而是由普通人使用。
