Superminds

There are new kinds of intelligence forming. But in our excitement over the promise of neural networks and deep learning, we have neglected the most important development of all.Superminds - groups of people and computers working together - can act more intelligently than any person, group, or computer has ever done before. Computers are beginning to teach themselves with spectacular results.

And they will do a lot more.Groundbreaking and utterly fascinating, Superminds shows that instead of fearing the rise of artificial intelligence we should be focusing on what we can achieve by working with computers - because together we will change the world. They already make many of our most important decisions, whether through the hierarchy of a multinational company or the democracy of a nation state.
