About this audiobook

Penguin Audio presents Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, read by Rob Shapiro.

We stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society-and, even, our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionize our collective future - and there's nobody better situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. In this deeply researched and vitally important new book, Tegmark takes us to the heart of thinking about AI and the human condition, bringing us face to face with the essential questions of our time. What sort of future do we want? Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time.

An eye opening, intelligent and well searched discussion on AI and future human life. although the book can be complicated in parts, due to slightly technical discussions or too futuristic in a few sections, overall it is an enjoyable, thoughful and inspiring piece.

An interesting exploration of AI and how it could impact humanity. Very relevant, and does a good job of making some of the drier points of AI less dull to read, although in some places it isnt quite enough.

I've just listened to the audio book for the second time. If you want a thorough grounding in the threats and opportunities that generative AI might bring then I highly recommend this book.
