• The Fourth Human Revolution

Will AI be the best or the worst thing for humanity? Is it a form of alchemy, alien technology, autonomous weapon of mass destruction, generating vast unemployment and huge income inequalities or a tool to create a utopian world of abundance where robots take over all repetitive/boring work allowing us to pursue our intellectual interests? To answer the question, we will travel through the fourth human revolution and the rise of Intelligence Augmentation (IA).
