We are now on the doorstep of a fourth change brought about by two technologies: AI and robotics.The Fourth Age provides extraordinary background information on how we got to this point, and howrather than whatwe should think about the topics well soon all be facing: machine consciousness, automation, employment, creative computers, radical life extension, artificial life, AI ethics, the future of warfare, superintelligence, and the implications of extreme prosperity. By asking questions like Are you a machine? and Could a computer feelanything?, Reese leads you through a discussion along the cutting edge in robotics and AI, and, provides a framework by which we can all understand, discuss, and act on the issues of the Fourth Age, and how theyll transform humanity.
