LIFE ENGINEERING - HUBERT OSTERLE KARTONIERT (TB)

Machine Intelligence is changing every aspect of our lives. Internet traffic and sensors in
households  cars  and wearables provide data that oligopolistic companies collect and use to
extract patterns of human behavior. Further  active digital assistants are taking over more and
more of our everyday decisions. Humanity is on the verge of an evolutionary leap and it is time
to determine if this development will benefit people's wellbeing or will just mean the
accumulation of capital and power with no regard for quality of life.This book integrates the
perspectives of various disciplines that are striving to establish resilient foundations -
computer science  economics and social sciences  political science  psychology  philosophy 
neuroscience  ethics and religion - in order to clarify a number of positions and  as a result
objectify the discussions. Written by Hubert Osterle  a researcher working at the interface of
these disciplines  the book promotes debate on the future of man and machine  on happiness and
evolution and on the major changes brought about by digital technology. Last but not least  it
is a manifesto calling for a new - integrated - discipline to be founded: life engineering. If
you want to think more deeply about what machine intelligence (aka AI) really means for
humanity  you should read this book. Hubert Oesterle takes an amazingly broad and
multi-disciplinary look at all relevant aspects  from the roots of human behavior to the impact
advanced digital assistants might have on our daily lives (and who will control these
assistants). Highly recommended! Andreas Goeldi  Partner at btov Partners
