I’m currently reading “The Age of AI: And Our Human Future” by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher – an impressive group of authors to say the least. The book provides some very thoughtful and well-informed analysis on the potential impacts of Artificial Intelligence on human society and our future across multiple dimensions and is well worth reading. Click here to see a summary of the key themes from the book.
“Human reason has the peculiar fate in one species of its cognition that it is burdened with questions which it cannot dismiss, since they are given to it as problems by the nature of reason itself, but which it also cannot answer, since they transcend every capacity of human reason”

[…] A recent article in the Wall Street Journal, “DeepMind AI Lab Predicts Structure of Most Proteins” by Stephen Rosenbush, describes how DeepMind’s AlphaFold database has evolved over the last 12 months from an initial dataset of 350,000 proteins to predicting the structure of 214 million proteins which is nearly all known proteins. In this case, the AI neural network has significantly advanced scientific knowledge by processing a set of predictions at a scale and speed not feasible by other methods. This is an excellent illustration of the some of the implications of Artificial Intelligence discussed in “The Age of AI: And Our Human Future” by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher and our previous post “Perspectives on AI”.
