Artificial Intelligence and the Environmental Crisis

<p>A radical and challenging book which argues that artificial intelligence needs a completely different set of foundations based on ecological intelligence rather than human intelligence if it is to deliver on the promise of a better world. This can usher in the greatest transformation in human history an age of re-integration.

We discover many positive outcomes across the societal economic and environmental arenas and discuss how this transformation can be delivered.</p><p>Key Features:</p><ul> <li>Identifies a key weakness in current AI thinking that threatens any hope of a better world.</li> <li>Highlights the importance of realizing that systems theory is an essential foundation for any technology that hopes to positively transform our world.</li> <li>Emphasizes the need for a radical new approach to AI based on ecological systems.</li> <li>Explains why ecosystem intelligence not human intelligence offers the best framework for AI.</li> <li>Examines how this new approach will impact on the three arenas of society environment and economics ushering in a new age of re-integration.</li> </ul>
