A revolution is under way.
In recent years, Google’s autonomous cars have logged thousands of miles on American highways and IBM’s Watson trounced the best human Jeopardy! players. Digital technologies—with hardware, software, and networks at their core—will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human.
In The Second Machine Age MIT’s Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee—two thinkers at the forefront of their field—reveal the forces driving the reinvention of our lives and our economy. As the full impact of digital technologies is felt, we will realize immense bounty in the form of dazzling personal technology, advanced infrastructure, and near-boundless access to the cultural items that enrich our lives.
Amid this bounty will also be wrenching change. Professions of all kinds—from lawyers to truck drivers—will be forever upended. Companies will be forced to transform or die. Recent economic indicators reflect this shift: fewer people are working, and wages are falling even as productivity and profits soar.
Drawing on years of research and up-to-the-minute trends, Brynjolfsson and McAfee identify the best strategies for survival and offer a new path to prosperity. These include revamping education so that it prepares people for the next economy instead of the last one, designing new collaborations that pair brute processing power with human ingenuity, and embracing policies that make sense in a radically transformed landscape.
we think about issues of technological, societal, and economic progress.

最近几年,关于技术革命的说法有很多,“新工业革命”“第三次工业革命” 第二次机器革命“互联网时代”“大数据时代”“工业4.0”,而“第二次机器革命”的说法是第一次听说。各种说法其实大同小异,只是对这次技术革命的观察角度不一样罢了。Erik Brynjofsson和Andrew McAfee...
評分是什么大大改变了人类历史的发展曲线?人类史在前几千年,几乎是平缓发展的。所谓的一些大的历史事件,比如造纸术,文字的发明,计数的发明,虽然从整个文明的发展来看是很重要的事件,但是对人类的社会发展的帮助相对来说并不十分明显。然而,工业革命完全颠覆了人类社会,人...
評分文/严杰夫 这两天,舞动在北京奥林匹克公园的法国龙马让人深感机械美学的魅力。这种场景直让人联想到《黑客帝国》结尾处用来抵抗电子虫的机械电磁炮,还有安吉丽娜•茱莉主演的古典科幻片《天空上尉与明日世界》里的人形机械兵器和机械战斗机,以及前年红极一时的《雨果》中...
評分 評分人工智能的發展現狀,未來的可能趨勢,對社會經濟人類生活的可能影響,以及一些對策思路。 覆蓋的材料夠寬,立場尚屬公允。 雖然有時會齣現稍顯羅嗦的情況。 可以續著《信息簡史》閱讀。

评分worthy reading: chps 13, 14 on policy recommendations
评分很輕鬆的一本書,幾個鍾頭翻完。經濟學傢寫的科普書,典型的社科寫法,主要builds on existing literature,加上不少case study, interview, statistical analysis。論點缺乏新意,作為一本近三年內齣版的書,不應該主要論點僅僅是NLP和深度學習能夠讓機器做更多non-routine的cognitive work,因此middle skilled的工作會大量消失吧。。首先Frey等早就寫過瞭AI各方麵發展下新型的 computerization,其次關於job polarization作者的同事Autor早在70年代就開始瞭係統研究。總之就是MIT遠不如Oxford的齣版物精彩,畢竟也是沒有Bostrom這樣的全能大神(和fund)。
评分由蒸汽機引發的工業革命帶領人類走入第一個機器時代,如今互聯網、3D打印等技術宣布第二個機器時代的到來。@mywiz
