What could intelligence beyond our own make possible, and are we wise enough to manage what we create? Digby R. Kerr's fascination with AI began when a conversation became a way to develop real work. He could challenge an answer, add experience, refine an idea, and continue toward a useful result. As the systems grew more capable, that working relationship expanded into education, business, research, websites, and applications. In Beyond Human Intelligence, Kerr asks where that progression could lead. He explains the differences among today's AI, disputed definitions of AGI, and possible superintelligence without requiring a technical background. Medicine, science, education, engineering, logistics, and entrepreneurship provide concrete ways to examine what greater intelligence could make possible. The book also asks what dependable results require. Who should control powerful systems? Which decisions deserve human judgment? How might work and opportunity change? How do we preserve human dignity if machines become more capable than we are? Drawing on approximately thirty-five years in logistics and business, his work as an educator and entrepreneur, and his Christian conviction that human worth is not a measure of processing power, Kerr invites readers of different beliefs into the discussion. The purpose is practical: understand the evidence, recognize uncertainty, participate intelligently, and prepare for the future we can help build.
