EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE – How AI is Changing Our World and What We Can Gain

• A guide to the world of tomorrow written by two scientific experts, publicists and entrepreneurs.
  
• Artificial intelligence holds great opportunities – if we set the right course now. 
  

We are witnessing the "iPhone moment" of artificial intelligence; the technology is now accessible to everyone. This marks a crucial threshold in our cultural evolution. Everything is changing all at once. Miriam Meckel and Léa Steinacker highlight the opportunities that come with crossing this threshold. We do not need to fear being replaced as humans because everything AI does is based on how we interact with it. However, we are now tasked with guiding its development in the right direction. But how do we achieve this, and where do risks, unwanted side effects, and ethical dilemmas lurk – whether in the workplace, in business, in human relationships, or in daily life? What questions should we address sooner rather than later, whether it is in dealing with self-driving cars, virtual medical assistants, or automated fake news? According to Meckel and Steinacker, if we want to keep up in an increasingly complex world, we must expand our human intelligence – and even artificial intelligence can assist us in that process. We, too, will change. What does the world of tomorrow look like, how do we navigate it, and make the right decisions? This book provides guidance.

"We are currently creating new worlds – we humans, together with AI. The new AI systems will become steam engines of the mind, our cognitive GPS systems or simply climbing frames for thinking. It is time to climb the first steps of the scaffolding, to gain experience with it in order to be prepared for what is to come and to help shape it in the best possible way." Miriam Meckel
