Genesis, a book co-authored by Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, and Craig Mundie, explores the implications of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors examine AI's potential to revolutionise various fields, including politics, economics, and medicine, while also highlighting the associated risks. The book draws parallels between historical exploration and the current exploration of AI's capabilities, focusing on the importance of understanding AI's potential impact on human civilisation. Discussions of political strategy and the need for international cooperation to manage AI's development are prominent. Finally, the text reflects on humanity’s future in an AI-driven world, questioning how humans will define themselves and their place amidst increasingly intelligent machines.
