Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent

by Ian Domowitz

Overview

Ask not what AI can do for a company, rather what artificial intelligence may do to a company.

How does a company successfully integrate artificial intelligence into its operations?

What are the problems in doing so?

And how does the introduction of AI into society change the answer to the first question?

As companies delay or even cancel initiatives in artificial intelligence, Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent redefines possibilities and offers leverage to turn AI visions into reality. It is a story of transformation: of people, of companies, and of artificial intelligence itself.

The Four Laws is unique in its combination of stories and science illustrating how a technology competing with human consciousness is introduced and assimilated within a company. A work of creative nonfiction stretched on a frame of research, it is an essential trail guide for navigating the Industry Version 4.0 jungle in a search of the fruits of innovation.

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Domowitz lays out a masterful piece on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI); and is just the expert to do it given both his exceptional academic and practitioner knowledge and use of the tools of that concept. This is an extraordinary tale; not only only does it explain the myriad of issues facing companies (humanity) regarding AGI, but it ties it to culture and history stemming back to the days of Plato and Aristotle. Contextualizing it within the framework of the Greek term 'techne' and addressing not just the HOW, which is normally the question people consider when thinking about AGI, but also the IF and the WHY. This book is a must for CEO's and managers seeking AGI as a solution for problems far and wide but readers must also heed Domowitz's descriptive warning that AI requires much more than a desire to use it but rather an understanding of the technical skills, risks and consequences as well as the framework upon which products and services are developed with it. This could not be a more timely or important subject; brilliant!--Robert A. Gillam, Chairman and CEO, McKinley Management LLC

Ian Domowitz's new book Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent is a terrific read as one would expect from an author who has been successful both as an academic and as a practitioner. Artificial Intelligence or AI is an overused term, and there is a tremendous lack of understanding as to both its potential and its limitations. This book asks a different question: It is not about what AI can do for a company in terms of boosting sales, morale, etc. but rather what the extensive use of artificial intelligence may do to a company. In particular, how does a company successfully integrate artificial intelligence into its operations and what are the problems in doing so? The book also touches on the bigger societal question of the broad use of AI and what this means in the human context. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique perspective Four Laws brings to the table. It is essential reading for those interested in the impact of a new and innovative technology.--Ananth Madhavan, Global Head of Research for ETFs and Index Investment, BlackRock, Inc.
