Free to Be Human: the Coming Machine Revolution and Our New Role in the World

The majority of the researchers in the field of artificial intelligence agree that sooner or later we will be able to create systems that are as intelligent as humans, or more. What is our role going to be in a world where white collar work is commoditized, after the mechanization of agriculture, and of industry?

How will we organize our lives at the level of the individual, and that of society? The challenges of intermediate systems that are around the corner, from robotic cars, to 3D printing and manufacturing, to the Internet of Things, give us a glimpse of the immense task of adaptation we have in front of us.
