Get ready for the next computer revolution
ALIEN INTELLIGENCE
The Internet has transformed our world, but as world-renowned business and technology guru James Martin shows in his groundbreaking book, this is only the beginning of the radical changes computers will bring to our lives.
Dr. Martin takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the new frontiers of computer technology. Instead of merely following human logic, computers are developing an alien intelligence that is radically different from human intelligence and incomparably more powerful in its focused areas. As alien intelligence feeds on itself and grows like a chain reaction, linked across the planet on a ubiquitous Internet, it will change virtually every aspect of our lives: business, investing, science, health care, entertainment, and more.
The challenge to business leaders is to harness the new capabilitiesand to do so quickly, before the competition does. Those who put computer intelligence to work will dominate the global economy of the future.
The true revolution will come when computers are used to think as humans cannot, since most computing today is used merely to emulate human thought processes. But, as Dr. Martin reveals, that revolution requires surrendering control to the machines, letting them race into unknown territory.
We are entering a brave new world in which alien intelligence can redesign and reinvent itself at electronic speed and without the control of human engineers. Indeed, alien intelligence will become so complex that humans will not even be able to understand the computers processes. Ultimately the question becomes: Will we control the machines, or will they control us?
Dr. James Martin, an internationally known business consultant, lecturer, and author, is the founder of several companies, including WatchIT.com, a video education company. He is the chairman emeritus of Headstrong, the leading-edge business-redesign firm. Martin, a Pulitzer Prize nominee, has written one hundred textbooksmore than any other living person.
