Serious Machines
Amir Husain
Computers fill our world, but for most of us, we own, use, and interact with just one type: computers designed for consumers. We use these at home to balance our checkbooks. We play online games with our friends. We catch up on our work email late at night. These home computers expand our world, but they’re only one segment of the market.
This book is about the “other” computers. The serious machines. The machines that run computer-aided design to build our modern world. The machines that simulate how the fastest fighter jets will fly. The ones that help us predict the weather and run our air traffic control systems.

THE SENTIENT

MACHINE
Amir Husain
Artificial “machine” intelligence is playing an ever-greater role in our society. We are already using cruise control in our cars, automatic checkout at the drugstore, and are unable to live without our smartphones. The discussion around AI is polarized; people think either machines will solve all problems for everyone, or they will lead us down a dark, dystopian path into total human irrelevance. Regardless of what you believe, the idea that we might bring forth intelligent creation can be intrinsically frightening. But what if our greatest role as humans so far is that of creators?
Amir Husain, a brilliant inventor and computer scientist, argues that we are on the cusp of writing our next, and greatest, creation myth. It is the dawn of a new form of intellectual diversity, one that we need to embrace in order to advance the state of the art in many critical fields, including security, resource management, finance, and energy. “In The Sentient Machine, Husain prepares us for a brighter future; not with hyperbole about right and wrong, but with serious arguments about risk and potential” (Dr. Greg Hyslop, Chief Technology Officer, The Boeing Company). He addresses broad existential questions surrounding the coming of AI: Why are we valuable? What can we create in this world? How are we intelligent? What constitutes progress for us? And how might we fail to progress?

HYPERWAR
Amir Husain
The Hyperwar era is upon us. The fusion of distributed artificial intelligence with highly autonomous military systems ushers in a type of lightning-quick conflict that has never been seen before. Yet this is more than a revolution in military affairs; it is a revolution in human affairs that will transform the 21st century defense and security environment. Advances in AI will fundamentally change the human condition, and with it, a profoundly human undertaking, war. Hyperwar: Conflict and Competition in the AI Century, gathers essays by leading experts in artificial intelligence explore the operational, technological, ethical, and professional military dimensions of this new era in which US dominance is no longer assured. “’Hyperwar’ doesn’t just admire the problem of AI-fueled warfare, it offers concrete approaches to help U.S. policymakers and our allies prepare. It is a ‘must read’ for all humans seeking to be ‘in the loop or on the loop’ before these technologies outpace our capacity to make ethical, strategic and secure decisions about our future.” —Ambassador Victoria Nuland CEO, Center for a New American Security
