Warum KI keine Ahnung hat und trotzdem alles kann. 2023 fing die Künstliche Intelligenz an, zu schreiben und zu sprechen wie ein Mensch. Damit steht die Welt vor einem fundamentalen Umbruch. Unsere Zivilisation, die Art und Weise, wie wir leben und arbeiten, wird so stark verändert werden wie durch die Erfindung des Internets. Noch lässt sich nur erahnen, welches Ausmaß an Innovationen in allen Lebensbereichen nun möglich ist. Fest steht aber, dass wir diese technische und gesellschaftliche Revolution nur dann in unserem Sinne steuern können, wenn wir sie und ihre Pioniere kennen und verstehen.

Something new entered our world in November 2022—the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI.

The first rule of nuclear war is that there are no rules. Up to now, no one outside of official circles has known exactly what would happen if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the Pentagon. Second by second and minute by minute, these are the real-life protocols that choreograph the end of civilisation as we know it. Because the plans for General Nuclear War are among the most classified secrets held by the United States government, this book takes the listener up to the razor’s edge of what can legally be known.

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

We seem to be stuck, staring at insurmountable challenges. The pandemic is the opening act for climate change, and we need to get much better at anticipating and preparing for these types of challenges. Simply rebuilding bridges once they fall, or houses once they are swept away, is both expensive and risks human lives. Anticipation and preparation costs more now, but is much less costly over time.

Since the global financial crisis of 2008, people have increasingly lost trust in institutions and elites, while seizing upon new digital tools to sidestep traditional gatekeepers. As a result, powerful new voices—once regarded as radical, unorthodox, or marginal—are disrupting the status quo in politics, business, and culture. Meanwhile, social and economic inequalities are stoking populist rage across the world, toxic partisanship is undermining democratic ideals, and the internet and AI have become high-speed vectors for the spread of misinformation.

Würden wir eine Zeitreise in die Zeit vor 500 Jahren oder 500 Jahre in die Zukunft machen, wären wir erschüttert, wie sehr sich Technik und Medizin verändert haben. Die geopolitische Ordnung würde für uns keinen Sinn ergeben. Die Sprache wäre uns völlig fremd. Und doch müssten wir in dieser uns vollkommen unbekannten Welt die Menschen nur wenige Minuten beobachten und würden sagen: »Ah, das habe ich schon einmal gesehen.« Denn uns würden zahlreiche universelle Verhaltensweisen begegnen: Menschen, die von Angst, Neid und Gier angetrieben werden; Menschen, die blind vor Selbstüberschätzung fatale Entscheidungen treffen.
