Overview
Una reflexión urgente sobre los cambios que la IA está generando en las estructuras de poder, la creatividad, la guerra, la responsabilidad y el amor.
En 2017 Vladimir Putin sentenció: “Quien domine la Inteligencia Artificial, dominará el mundo”.
Hace ocho años estas palabras podían sonar desmesuradas, pero hoy en día reflejan una realidad escalofriante. No por nada, hay quienes comparan la carrera por la supremacía en el desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial con el proyecto Manhattan, que produjo las primeras armas nucleares. Es una carrera millonaria, en la que participan Estados y empresas privadas, y que cambiará para siempre —ya lo está haciendo— la forma como los seres humanos somos gobernados o dominados, la forma como creamos y nos relacionamos con el arte, nuestra concepción de la responsabilidad, nuestra forma de hacer la guerra, nuestra forma de amar.
Este libro aborda con profunda lucidez los desafíos que la Inteligencia Artificial plantea en estos ámbitos de la vida humana.
Aún no sabemos quién dominará la Inteligencia Artificial; lo que sí sabemos, advierte Pedro Salazar Ugarte, es que el empuje tecnológico está impulsando la mayor concentración de poder en la historia. El poder económico, el poder político y el poder ideológico se funden en una peligrosa alianza totalitaria que amenaza las libertades de las personas. Por ello, este libro es también un llamado a imaginar maneras de regular el fuego prometeico de la IA, para explotar sus enormes beneficios y mitigar sus numerosos riesgos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A pressing reflection on the changes that AI is generating in the structures of power, creativity, war, responsibility, and love.
In 2017, Vladimir Putin declared: "Whoever dominates Artificial Intelligence will dominate the world."
Eight years ago, these words might have sounded exaggerated, but today they reflect a chilling reality. It is no surprise that some compare the race for supremacy in the development of Artificial Intelligence to the Manhattan Project, which produced the first nuclear weapons. It is a multi-million dollar race, involving governments and private companies, which will forever change—and is already changing—the way humans are governed or dominated, the way we create and relate to art, our conception of responsibility, our way of waging war, our way of loving.
This book addresses with profound lucidity the challenges that Artificial Intelligence poses in these areas of human life.
We still do not know who will dominate Artificial Intelligence; what we do know, warns Pedro Salazar Ugarte, is that technological advances are driving the greatest concentration of power in history. Economic power, political power, and ideological power are merging into a dangerous totalitarian alliance that threatens people's freedoms. Therefore, this book is also a call to imagine ways to regulate the promethean fire of AI, to exploit its enormous benefits and mitigate its numerous risks.
