Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit (Little, Brown and Company)
Friday, 10 January 2025

In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists, Eric Schmidt and Craig J. Mundie, to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. The authors argue that as it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality.

They look at how it will also pose challenges, usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The book charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.
