An economic expert provides possible global implications and advice on the rise of artificial intelligence. Where will you be in a singular world? In Ray Kurzweil's "New York Times" bestseller "The Singularity is Near", the futurist and entrepreneur describes the singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the singularity website kurzweilai.com, speaks to the importance of this intellectual movement. But what about the average person? How will the singularity affect our daily lives-our jobs, our families, and our wealth? "Singularity Rising: Surviving and Thriving in a Smarter, Richer, and More Dangerous World" focuses on the implications of a future society faced with an abundance of human and artificial intelligence. James D.Miller, an economics professor and popular speaker on the singularity, reveals how natural selection has been increasing human intelligence over the past few thousand years and speculates on how intelligence enhancements will shape civilization over the next forty years. "Singularity Rising" offers predictions about the economic implications for a future of widely expanding intelligence and practical career and investment advice on how you can prepare and flourish in a singular environment.
