The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence
Book •
James Lovelock's "Novocene" explores the potential impact of machine intelligence on the planet's future.
Building on his Gaia hypothesis, Lovelock argues that the emergence of advanced AI will lead to a new geological epoch, the Novocene, characterized by the terraforming of Earth in the image of machine intelligence.
The book examines the potential consequences of this transformation, considering both the challenges and opportunities it presents for humanity.
Lovelock's perspective offers a unique blend of scientific insight and philosophical reflection on the future of life on Earth.
While acknowledging the potential risks, he suggests that humanity will adapt and continue to thrive within this new environment.
