Review of 'The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Strengths: quick read even with its technical nature. Weakness: pretty demoralizing in the information. Webb does a good job presenting positive, pragmatic, and worst case scenarios toward the later half of the book, but the most interesting information regards the current status of AI and the comparison between the U.S. and China. The differing approaches are strikingly different, and China definitely has an advantage because it actually has a plan. I learned a lot about AI and the different types of AI from this book, and for that, I have to say I appreciate the book.
