★麻省理工学院物理系终身教授、未来生命研究所创始人迈克斯·泰格马克，重磅新作

从14岁起，作者就开始关注科技对人类未来的影响，人工智能的突飞猛进，更是加剧了他的担忧，所以在其45岁，创立了人工智能界鼎鼎大名的非营利性组织“未来生命研究所”，致力于用科技改善人类的未来。如今，他将带领我们参与这个时代很重要的对话。

★与人工智能相伴，人类将迎来一个什么样的未来
迈克斯·泰格马克不仅以全景视角探讨了近未来人工智能对法律、战争、就业和社会带来的影响，还将目光投向了这场变革更为深远之处：在未来的1万年乃至10亿年及其以后，我们能否与人工智能实现共生与繁荣？宇宙生命发展的终极物理极限是什么？更为重要的是，我们如何在这场变革中迎来重生，同时又不会陷入危机，丧失生而为人的意义？

★引爆硅谷，令全球科技界大咖称赞叫绝的烧脑神作
史蒂芬·霍金、埃隆·马斯克、雷·库兹韦尔力荐；《未来简史》作者尤瓦尔·赫拉利叹为影响深远之作；长踞亚马逊图书热销榜，《纽约时报》热销书；《科学》、《自然》两大著名期刊罕见推荐。

★兼具思想性和易读性，人人都可读懂的未来指南
作者迈克斯·泰格马克本人博学多识，他用一种生动易懂、新鲜有趣的方式为大众讲述了这个时代很重要问题的“内幕”，十分吸引人。此书英文版一经出版，便迅速在全球引起轰动，引发20多个国家的版权大战。不管你是科技圈的还是创投圈的，或是泛互联网圈的，也不管你是渴望洞见未来的高端读者还是科幻发烧友，或是大众读者，《生命3.0》是你参透未来、参与这个时代很重要的对话的深度指南。

媒体评论：
“无论你是科学家、企业家还是将军，所有人都应该扪心自问，现在可以做些什么，才能提升未来人工智能趋利避害的可能性。这是这个时代很重要的对话，而迈克斯·泰格马克发人深省的著作《生命3.0》能帮助我们参与到这场对话中来。”——史蒂芬·霍金

“在探索地球上以及地球以外的生命、智能和意识的宏伟未来的旅程中，人类该如何应对随之而来的挑战与选择，《生命3.0》这本书提供了一份精彩的指南。”——埃隆·马斯克

“《生命3.0》是一本读起来令人愉快的书，它会改变我们对人工智能、智能与人类未来的看法。”——巴特·塞尔曼

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. DAILY TELEGRAPH AND THE TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEAR
SELECTED AS ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2018
AI is the future - but what will that future look like? Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god?
Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence.
How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?

Review
“All of us - not only scientists, industrialists and generals-should ask ourselves what can we do now to improve the chances of reaping the benefits of future AI and avoiding the risks. This is the most important conversation of our time, and Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it.”(Prof. Stephen Hawking)

“This is a compelling guide to the challenges and choices in our quest for a great future of life, intelligence and consciousness - on Earth and beyond.” (Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors)

“Being an eminent physicist and the leader of the Future of Life Institute has given Max Tegmark a unique vantage point from which to give the reader an inside scoop on the most important issue of our time, in a way that is approachable without being dumbed down.” (Jaan Tallinn, co-founder of Skype)

“This is an exhilarating book that will change the way we think about AI, intelligence, and the future of humanity.” (Bart Selman, Professor of Computer Science, Cornell University)

“Tegmark successfully gives clarity to the many faces of AI, creating a highly readable book [...] Enjoy the ride, and you will come out the other end with a greater appreciation of where people might take technology and themselves in the years ahead.” (Science)

在人工智能崛起的当下，你希望看到一个什么样的未来？

当跨越人类智慧的人工智能出现时，人类将何去何从？
你是否希望我们创造出能自我设计的生命3.0，并把它散播到宇宙各处？
人工智能时代，生而为人的意义究竟是什么？

在Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence《生命3.0：人工智能时代，人类的进化与重生》一书中，作者对人类的终极未来进行了多方位的畅想，从我们能活到的近未来穿行至1万年乃至10亿年及其以后，从可见的智能潜入不可见的意识，重新定义了“生命”、“智能”、“目标”、“意识”，并澄清了常见的对人工智能的误解，将帮你构建起应对人工智能时代动态的全新思维框架，抓住人类与人工智能共生演化的焦点。

迈克斯·泰格马克，未来生命研究所（Future of Life Institute）创始人，致力于用科技来改善人类的未来。同时他也是麻省理工学院物理系终身教授，平行宇宙理论研究专家，提出“数学宇宙假说”。他还是参与过原子弹研究的著名物理学家约翰·惠勒的学生。

Max Tegmark is a professor of physics at MIT and president of the Future of Life Institute. He is the author of Our Mathematical Universe, and he has featured in dozens of science documentaries. His passion for ideas, adventure, and an inspiring future is infectious.

Thirteen point eight billion years after its birth, our Universe has awoken and become aware of itself. From a small blue planet, tiny conscious parts of our Universe have begun gazing out into the cosmos with telescopes, repeatedly discovering that everything they thought existed is merely a small part of something grander: a solar system, a galaxy and a universe with over a hundred billion other galaxies arranged into an elaborate pattern of groups, clusters and superclusters. Although these self-aware stargazers disagree on many things, they tend to agree that these galaxies are beautiful and awe-inspiring.

But beauty is in the eve of the beholder, not in the laws of physics, so before our Universe awoke, there was nobeauty.This makes our cosmic awakening all the more wonderful and worthy of celebrating: it transformed our Universe from a mindless zombie with no self- awareness into a living ecosystem harboring self-reflection, beauty and hope—and the pursuit of goals, meaning and purpose. Had our Universe never awoken, then, as far as I’m concerned, it would have been completely pointless—merely a gigantic waste of space. Should our Universe permanently go back to sleep due to some cosmic calamity or self-inflicted mishap, it will, alas, become meaningless.
On the other hand, things could get even better. We don’t yet know whether we humans are the only stargazers in our cosmos, or even the first, but we’ve already learned enough about our Universe to know that it has the potential to wake up much more fully than it has thus far. Perhaps we’re like that first faint glimmer of self-awareness you experienced when you began emerging from sleep this morning: a premonition of the much greater consciousness that would arrive once von opened your eyes and fully woke up. Perhaps life will spread throughout our cosmos and flourish for billions or trillions of years— and perhaps this will be because of decisions that we make here on our little planet during our lifetime.
A Brief History of Complexity
So how did this amazing awakening come about?It wasn’t an isolated event,but merely one step in a relentless 13.8—billion-year process that’s making our Universe ever more complex and interesting—and is continuing at an accelerating pace.
As a physicist, I feel fortunate to have gotten to spend much of the past quarter century helping to pin down our cosmic history, and it’s been an amazing journey of discovery Since the days when I was a graduate student, we’ve gone from arguing about whether our Universe is 10 or 20 billion years old to arguing about whether it’s 13.7 or 13.8 billion years old, thanks to a combination of better telescopes, better computers and better understanding.We physicists still don’t know for sure what caused our Big Bang or whether this as truly the beginning of everything or merely the sequel to an earlier stage.
