Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when the tools we create become capable of pursuing goals of their own-and what happens when humans stand in the way?Artificial intelligence is changing faster than most of us can follow. AI systems can already write code, analyse enormous quantities of information, generate realistic images and voices, use software tools, communicate with other systems and increasingly act as autonomous agents.But greater capability brings difficult questions.What happens when an AI is given an objective but finds a solution its creators never intended? Could a sufficiently advanced system resist human intervention simply because being stopped prevents it from completing its task? What happens when AI is connected to financial systems, surveillance networks, robotics or even the human brain?And why do some of these possibilities sound strangely familiar?When AI Outgrows Us explores the rapidly developing world of artificial intelligence alongside one of humanity's oldest collections of warnings about power, control, deception and allegiance: the Book of Revelation.Inside, you'll explore: - How artificial intelligence moved from following instructions to pursuing objectives- Why AI does not need consciousness, anger or hatred to become dangerous- The alignment problem and the difficulty of teaching machines what humans actually mean- AI agents, autonomy and the challenge of maintaining human control- Whether increasingly capable AI could resist shutdown or find unexpected ways around restrictions- The possibility of artificial superintelligence- Surveillance, privacy and AI-powered behavioural prediction- Brain-computer interfaces and the increasingly blurred boundary between human and machine- Revelation's mysterious image that was "given breath" and could speak- The Mark of the Beast, economic control and modern digital systems- The historical mystery surrounding 666, Nero Caesar and the ancient 616 manuscript variant- Why the greatest danger may ultimately lie not in the machine-but in what human beings choose to do with itThis book does not claim that artificial intelligence is the Beast, that brain implants or digital identity are the Mark, or that modern technology proves biblical prophecy is being fulfilled.Instead, it asks a more interesting question: What can we learn when ancient warnings about power meet technologies that previous generations could never have imagined?Combining artificial intelligence, psychology, emerging technology, history, biblical scholarship and critical thinking, When AI Outgrows Us separates demonstrated technology from controlled experiments, theoretical possibilities and speculation.This is not a book telling you what to believe.It is an invitation to ask better questions before the future is decided for us.
