Life 3.0: Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence [Book Review]

The most important conversation of our time involves Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what we do with this marvellous technology. Max Tegmark's new book "Life 3.0: Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence" squarely addresses what needs to be done and how. He is a physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and also the founder of Future of Life Institute – a thinktank dedicated to building friendly AI. In case you are wondering, Life 3.0 refers to the non-biological, intelligent life of future. And, unlike humans who can design their own software (learning new skills, languages, etc.) but are unable to design their hardware, the intelligent life of future would design both its hardware and software. In other words, life will break free from its evolutionary paradigm.
