Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stressed the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) in his final book “Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit,” examining what the technology means for the world.
In a pre-recorded promotional video for the book released Tuesday, Kissinger said through the use of the new technology, “humanity [is] trying to wield a power which they cannot possibly understand.”
Kissinger passed away in November 2023, but wrote the book in collaboration with technology leaders Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie. It was published posthumously on Tuesday.
“Eric, Craig, and I decided to write Genesis to examine what artificial intelligence means for humanity and explore solutions to the challenges it poses,” said Kissinger, also a former National Security Advisor
He went on to describe how self-sufficient computer systems will modify the human approach to a wide-range of fields.

We built it. The builders understand it very well, and the reason they programmed it. It is very much human controlled. This isn’t AGI, and won’t be. These assclowns and their hype, I swear...

It couldn’t hurt to read all of the Isaac Asimov book that you can in the Robots, Foundation, and Empire categories.
