Life with AI - how to survive and succeed in a super-smart world.

Patrick Dixon's 18th book is on Artificial Intelligence. Impact of AI on every industry, government, company and individual. Published by Profile Books in September 2024.

AI will create gigantic benefits for humankind in every industry, saving time and reducing costs. AI will also save hundreds of millions of lives in better health care. At the same time AI will disrupt a billion jobs, kill many in wars, is already out of control, and one day could gain the power to wipe us all out. So what will all this mean for your own career, family, community and wider world? What steps can we take now to survive and succeed in a super-smart world?

28 chapters cover likely future impact of AI on industries ranging from Pharma to retail, manufacturing, banking, insurance, travel, construction, software development, defence and so on.

Quote from the book

AI will create a better world in a vast number of ways, and it will save tens of millions of lives a year through better health care alone.

But AI will also kill many others in wars and is out of control in many places. AI will grow rapidly in power, and could destroy our future, but at the same time we urgently need this technology. We just need to find ways to apply it wisely.

This book is about our wider world, about how we will learn to live with AI. It’s about how daily life will evolve for 8 billion people or more, in every region and major industry, and what it all means for us personally.

Comment by Patrick Dixon

"Researching this book has been both exciting and alarming. The potential of AI is vast to improve the world and make our daily lives better, especially in health care, but it could all go badly wrong, depending on how AI is developed and used, and on what privileges AI is allowed.

"AI will also be widely used by dictators and autocratic regimes to control populations and maintain power."

"A major risk is that AI will be allowed to self-improve, writing new code, gaining new powers, at a rate ten thousand times faster than any human beings can keep up with, taking AI into new frontiers, which could ultimately pose a threat to us all.

"But by far the most urgent risk to every large business and to government is from next-generation cyberattacks on an overwhelming scale, themselves created using AI tools."
