ALIEN INTELLIGENCE
The
Internet has transformed our world, but as world-renowned
business and technology guru James Martin shows
in his groundbreaking book, this is only the beginning
of the radical changes computers will bring to
our lives.
Dr.
Martin takes the reader on a fascinating tour
of the new frontiers of computer technology. Instead
of merely following human logic, computers are
developing an alien intelligence that is radically
different from human intelligence and incomparably
more powerful in its focused areas. As alien intelligence
feeds on itself and grows like a chain reaction,
linked across the planet on a ubiquitous Internet,
it will change virtually every aspect of our lives:
business, investing, science, health care, entertainment,
and more.
The
challenge to business leaders is to harness the
new capabilities-and to do so quickly, before
the competition does. Those who put computer intelligence
to work will dominate the global economy of the
future.
The
true revolution will come when computers are used
to think as humans cannot, since most computing
today is used merely to emulate human thought
processes. But, as Dr. Martin reveals, that revolution
requires surrendering control to the machines,
letting them race into unknown territory.
We
are entering a brave new world in which alien
intelligence can redesign and reinvent itself
at electronic speed and without the control of
human engineers. Indeed, alien intelligence will
become so complex that humans will not even be
able to understand the computers processes.
Ultimately the question becomes: Will we control
the machines, or will they control us?
