Imagine a future in which artificial intelligence makes us more powerful than ever before. But a machine that can “think” autonomously no longer needs humans. And that is exactly what Tom personally experiences: after he loses his job to AI, AI developer Vida suggests that he has a chip implanted in his brain. Tom is enthusiastic, but his character soon begins to change due to the procedure. He eventually finds out that Vida is working on a super intelligence that has the potential to relieve humanity – or destroy it.
This story is based on results of state-of-the-art research and accompanied by commentary from the world’s leading AI experts who show us that the course for how influential artificial intelligence can become is being set today. Tom’s story takes place in the future, but it is highly relevant for today’s society.
