About this listen
In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence.
As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution.
The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.©2024 Eric Schmidt, Henry A.

Critic reviews
A timely exploration of the relationship between artificial intelligence and knowledge, power, and politics, this book pushes us to think hard about the risk and potential AI holds for humanity (Bill Gates)
What does AI mean for discovery? For truth? For security, prosperity and politics? In answering these questions, these three extraordinary thinkers are (characteristically) unafraid to tackle the biggest themes and most profound questions around the dominant technology of our times. Epic in scope, bracing in clarity and always rooted in deep experience, this is an essential read (Mustafa Suleyman)
In the coming Age of Artificial Intelligence, what will be the role of humans? In the final years of his life, Henry Kissinger immersed himself in studying AI, and he coauthored this book with technologists Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie. It is a profound exploration of how we can protect human dignity and values in an era of autonomous machines (Walter Isaacson)
This important book offers one of the first real looks at the future now in front of us - a future of almost limitless possibility, along with very complex new challenges (Sam Altman)
The authors of Genesis raise profound questions that are best answered by placing intelligent tools and technologies in the hands of people, empowering them with real agency to be more confident, more capable, and more in control (Satya Nadella)
A must read for anyone trying to think seriously about the challenges posed by AI. Genesis captures what we know-and most importantly don't know-about the dangers posed by the unconstrained advance of AI. Drawing on lessons learned in the nuclear age, Kissinger and his colleagues illuminate the murky path ahead (Graham Allison)
Genesis is thought-provoking in the best way - a much needed exploration of AI's implications for humanity's progress and what makes us human. It is also a roadmap for how we can harness AI's possibilities, address its challenges, and ultimately co-exist with intelligent machines in the age of AI (James Manyika)
