Infants in a Hostile Digital Jungle – Programable People, Techno Social Engineering.

Deep Learning and Big Data will make machines omniscient and smart. People will be gullible and tractable in comparison; infants ripe for exploitation.

The law won’t protect us, will: ‘Do No Evil’ or other vague self proclaiming slogans?

This is also one of the key themes in my new book: #SingularitysChildren #AI #Singularity

Apes, AIs and Us

On first contact with our Great Ape cousins, we dressed them in clothes, gave them beds to sleep in and even took them for tea with the King.

Read how it plays out in @SingularitysChildren my new Novel
