Chapter 10: From Mechanical Automatons to the Industrial Revolution
This is the podcast of Pedro URIA-RECIO's book "How AI Will Shape Our Future". Buy it now on Amazon or Audible.
This chapter provides a historical overview of automatons and mechanical engineering, arguing that the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on society is analogous to the Industrial Revolution. The book traces the development of automation through various civilizations, from ancient Greece to medieval Islam and the European Renaissance, highlighting significant figures like Archytas, Heron of Alexandria, Al-Jazari, Leonardo da Vinci, and others. It then focuses on the impact of the Industrial Revolution, particularly the introduction of machinery and its effect on the textile industry, and the Luddites' resistance to it. Ultimately, the book uses these historical parallels to underscore the potential impact of AI on labor markets and the importance of proactive measures to mitigate its effects.

"A fascinating journey into the future of AI, providing a unique perspective that combines technology, economics, literature, and history. I learned so much from this balanced and fact-based exploration."—Pascal Bornet, Keynote Speaker, Best-selling Author, and Social Media Influencer with 2 Million followers, March 25, 2024
"A seminal work, brilliantly navigating the transformative impact of AI on humanity and the advent of the machine economy, promising a harmonious fusion of technology and societal progress."—Professor Paul J. Morrissey, Professor at Liverpool John Moores University, Feb 15, 2024
"All that I can say is "WOW"! I'm left utterly speechless after reading this book! It truly expanded my mind, especially in its contemplation of the future implications of AI."—D. Rob, April 28, 2024
"Skillfully weaves together history, analysis, and thought-provoking predictions, challenging readers to confront the ethical and philosophical implications of this transformative technology. RECOMMEND!"—Zahid, June 9, 2024
"AI Magnum Opus! What an in-depth and thorough volume on AI. From ancient history to future predictions, political implications, potential impacts, and outcomes, if there is any question you have about AI impact, this book likely touches on it. Vast in its breadth and intelligent insights."—J Palmer, May 20, 2024
"Was worth the read in every way possible. Connected all the dots in terms of what's going on in AI and more. Opened a plethora of questions (and in some way answered them too) that I've had about humans, philosophy, and intelligence."—Dare, August 18, 2024
"Hard-hitting questions about utopian and dystopian outcomes, China's AI arms race, and the future of human-cyborg coexistence. Insights are thought-provoking and grounded in years of global experience with AI technology. Highly recommended!"—S. Andrews, May 16, 2024
"What really sets this book apart is its passion. You can tell the author is deeply invested in this topic, and their enthusiasm is contagious. It's like they're inviting you to join the author on a journey of discovery, and you can't help but get swept up in their excitement."—Good, April 24, 2024
