Will artificial intelligence save humanity-or end it?
AI is no longer science fiction. From self-learning machines that outpace human intelligence to surveillance systems that track our every move, artificial intelligence is transforming the world at breathtaking speed. Nations are racing to harness its power. Corporations are pouring billions into its development. And citizens everywhere are caught in the middle of a struggle that will define the future of humanity.
In Red Lines: The Global Struggle to Control Artificial Intelligence, Alex Robinson takes readers on a gripping journey across the frontlines of the AI revolution. With clarity and urgency, he reveals:
The hidden geopolitical battles between the U.S., China, and Europe to dominate AI.How AI is reshaping work, wealth, and inequality, and why billions may be left behind.The rise of AI-driven surveillance and what it means for privacy, freedom, and democracy.The existential risks of autonomous weapons, misaligned superintelligence, and global arms races.The growing movement for AI ethics and regulation, and the bold "red lines" the world must draw before it's too late.This is not a book of doom, but of decision. AI is a mirror of human choices: it can entrench power and oppression-or unlock solutions to climate change, disease, and poverty. The future is not inevitable. It is being written now.
Accessible, timely, and deeply researched, Red Lines is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the most important struggle of the 21st century: who-or what-will control intelligence itself.
The red lines are clear. The question is: will we cross them?
