In his new book, Gary Marcus warns readers that current AI is both morally and technically inadequate—and Big Tech has effectively captured policymakers, playing both the public and the government. AI technology is too important to cede to corporate control, and the decisions we make now will shape our next century. Marcus lays bare two possible futures: AI revolutionizes science, medicine, and technology and delivers us a world of abundance and better health; or, if corporate powers are left unchecked, we could head toward disasters like the downfall of democracy, or even extinction.
