The Storm of Progress

Climate Change, Ai, and the Roots of Our Dangerous Ethical Myopia

Beschreibung

In a time of existential threats from climate change, computer-based superintelligences, AI-accelerated nuclear and biological warfare and more, we can no longer avoid some profound questions about what's going on. We need to ask: what kind of 'progress' leads to the destruction of humanity's basic habitat, even its basic identity?
