Used Book in Good Condition
I'm currently reading Apocalyptic AI: Visions of Heaven in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality by Robert M. Geraci. This book explores how religious ideas have infested our expectations for AI. It's arguments are quite similar to The Secret Life of Puppets by Victoria Nelson which was an even deeper consideration of the metaphysical implications of uncanny representations of human beings whether in the form of dolls, puppets, robots, avatars, or cyborgs. I think it is really important to understand what is driving the push for this technology.
Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era by James Barrat is also a good book on the dangers of AI.
You want more book recommendations? Well, one of the creepiest aspects of AI is that Amazon is using it for its recommendation engine. So just go on Amazon and it will be an AI that recommends more books for you to read!
