In 'How to Think About AI,' Richard Susskind argues that previous assumptions about AI's limitations are often proven wrong, leading to a need for continuous ethical discourse. The book serves more as a reflective exploration than a straightforward guide, prompting readers to reconsider fundamental concepts such as language, consciousness, and reality. Susskind not only addresses the potential obsolescence of humans by AI but also highlights the evolving nature of the field, which continually shifts as technology advances.
The field of AI is littered with nevers; commentators have excluded topics from ethical discourse, claiming AI would never do certain things, only to be proven wrong.
Susskind's book is a meditation rather than a guide, posing more questions than it answers, challenging our understanding of language, consciousness, and reality.
