![]() ![]() Tegmark, an MIT physics professor, has emerged as a leading advocate for research on AI safety. If all the wonders of the cosmos carry on without a conscious mind to appreciate them, the universe will be rendered a meaningless “waste of space,” Tegmark argues. But in his worst case scenario, humanity goes extinct and is replaced with AI that has plenty of intelligence, but no consciousness. In his book, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Tegmark first explains how today’s AI research will likely lead to the creation of a superintelligent AI, then goes further to explore the possible futures that could result from this creation. Forget about book sales, this is about cosmic destiny: The fate of the universe may well be determined by the decisions made “here on our little planet during our lifetime,” he says. ![]() Ask Max Tegmark why people should read his new book and get involved in the discussion about artificial intelligence, and you get a weighty answer. ![]()
