The Opaque Machine (The Metis Imperative)

By: David Kerrigan

We've built a machine we don't understand. Artificial intelligence is not just another piece of software.

We urgently need to change how we think about AI; how we want to manage its evolution, and our own.

Drawing on profound, cautionary lessons from biology, genetics, physics, psychology and economics, The Opaque Machine reveals that the danger is not just the technology, but the intricate interplay between its unprecedented capabilities and our own flawed societal systems.

The Opaque Machine is a challenging, necessary, and uniquely cross-discipline guide to the risks of AI.

The Opaque Machine is Volume I in the civilization readiness series, The Metis Imperative.
