The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. --John F. Kennedy

In this book I reveal a vision of the future that will keep you up at night. Researchers all over the world are racing to develop technologies using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some in the scientific community are engaged in the study and development of superintelligence. If they are successful in that endeavor, the outcome would be that AI would become smarter than their creators. We have all seen sci-fi movies that imagine hellish, apocalyptic futures where AI destroys our world. What if it comes on gradually-a drumbeat growing louder every day, until one day the defining roar overtakes everything? What if that day is not very far away?

Join me as I started searching for keys about who and what is behind research and development of these technologies. Was it a cabal, which is a secret political clique or faction? Was it the technocrats, a member of a powerful technical elite or someone who advocates the supremacy of technical experts? Was it the plutocracy, formally known as government by the wealthy? Or was it our government?

Are those around the world who develop technologies that will dramatically affect our destinies truly concerned about life satisfaction, quality of life, or whatever else happiness is termed? Should we simply internalize a life of uncontrolled artificial intelligence and bend to prophet-like futurists scenarios? Critically, a plausible risk is that unenhanced humans could become superfluous as soon as the 2050s.

INTRODUCTION
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.
John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address (January 20, 1961)
In this book I reveal a vision of the future that will keep you up at night. Researchers all over the world are racing to develop technologies using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some in the scientific community are engaged in the study and development of superintelligence. If they are successful in that endeavor, the outcome would be that AI would become smarter than their creators. We have all seen sci-fi movies that imagine hellish, apocalyptic futures where AI destroys our world. But what if this nightmare scenario doesnt arrive with a boom? What if it comes on graduallya drumbeat growing louder every day, until one day the defining roar overtakes everything? What if that day is not very far away?
While AI is deeply troubling, other sinister endeavors are also underway. Developers in robotics, the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, are endowing humanoids with extraordinary features. Current projections state that that within a few decades, they could be on par with or even exceed humans. If not contained, repercussions could be drastic, like the creation of a new species that could evolve from mixing humans with humanoids. Well, dont begin to worry now.
Years ago, it became evident that robots were taking jobs from blue-collar workers. I then realized these technologies were being thrust upon an unwitting public. It became clear to me that the natural trajectory of this movement was toward advanced AI. At that point, I became upset because some things are just morally wrong. That was when I decided to take on the task of writing about who, as well as what, is behind such developments. During my science-backed research as an economist, I became curious, and then passionate, about uncovering what it would take to place controls on robotics and superintelligence.
I started searching for keys about who and what is behind research and development of these technologies. Was it a cabal, which is a secret political clique or faction? Was it the technocrats, a member of a powerful technical elite or someone who advocates the supremacy of technical experts? Was it the plutocracy, formally known as government by the wealthy? In more general parlance, it is now termed any form of government in which the wealthy exercise the preponderance of power, whether it be direct or indirect. Or was it our government? My conclusion was that the answer is a loose grouping of the three. While not a cabal, and not coordinated, collectively this grouping has the power to decide about technological matters. In our case, it is control of AI and robotic innovations. The conundrum highlighted in this book is whether our government could break away from the other two parts in order to successfully carry out indispensable regulations on those two technologies.
Join me as we unlock the secrets of legal procedures, the heart in a course of action. To that end, this treatise seeks to demonstrate that the most potent and feasible solution is adoption of the internationally used Precautionary Principle in courts to litigate controls and bans on technologies that have economic and moral consequences. This legal method is focused on social responsibility to protect the public from harm when scientific investigation has found a plausible risk. In our situation, the concern is scientists and others who believe they have unfettered freedom to develop any technologies they desire regardless of consequences to humankind.
Is it possible we can control intelligent machines, or will they control us? What would it mean to be human in an age of AI when intelligent machines coexist with or replace us? Are those around the world who develop technologies that will dramatically affect our destinies truly concerned about life satisfaction, quality of life, or whatever else happiness is termed? Should we simply internalize a life of uncontrolled artificial intelligence and bend to prophet-like futurists scenarios? Critically, a plausible risk is that unenhanced humans could become superfluous as soon as the 2050s.
LET THE
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. This is a clear prescription for disaster.
Carl Sagan, The Skeptical Inquirer (Volume 14-3, Spring 1990)
What you are about to read is not science fiction; it is the reality of a dizzying warp-speed race to technologize America, its citizens, and ultimately the world as we know it. Do you really want to be entertained? In a grim sort of way? As expected, there are complications. Technology developers might make it possible to build a machine more intelligent than any human. If the enhanced machine breaks away from its creators, it could then potentially even write its own source code to become more intelligent than humans. But isnt that an inhuman thing to do?
Critical questions are in order.
Are technology developers around the world truly concerned about saving humankind as we know it? What would it mean to be human in an age of AI when intelligent machines coexist with or replace us? Should we citizens simply internalize a life of uncontrolled artificial intelligence? Should we bend to prophet-like futurists scenarios of doom and gloom?
