Summary
Audie Award, Business/Personal Development, 2017.
After billions of dollars and 50 years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities.
Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure - but, as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-listen for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.

Interesting with an arrogant undertone
Interesting insights into AI usage but could be more balanced, it's very "Silicon Valley" centric

The American dream?
Little encouragement here for mankind. ( an oxymoron?) . Once, some of us thought Artificial Intelligence might provide a tool to help us understand how our brains worked. How to understand how we could pick up our glass of beer or notice the glass was getting empty. But now? its "lets make more money" for the few and bugger the rest. I wish I could live long enough to see Kaplan's predictions.

I didn't get to the end
the authors belief in freemarket capitalism being some great levelling force in a scenario where much of what it involves becomes obsolete makes this unlistenable for me.
we are at the edge of a world where post scarcity and UBI is possible. but I don't know if it's the American centric view of the author or just a neoliberal lens that he is talking through. but this book really isn't for me.
