Story
This is what our future looks like: in the next decade, AI will be able to convince us that it’s human. During the 2030s, it will become ‘superintelligent’, vastly outstripping our capabilities by almost every measure. By 2045, it will be possible to connect our brains with these AIs using invisibly small nanotechnologies. Our minds and theirs will merge, expanding our consciousness more profoundly than we can fully comprehend, unlocking possibilities we can barely imagine. This is the singularity.

Story
For the last 100,000 years, humans have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI – a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive? NEXUS considers how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.

Story
Warum KI keine Ahnung hat und trotzdem alles kann. 2023 fing die Künstliche Intelligenz an, zu schreiben und zu sprechen wie ein Mensch. Damit steht die Welt vor einem fundamentalen Umbruch. Unsere Zivilisation, die Art und Weise, wie wir leben und arbeiten, wird so stark verändert werden wie durch die Erfindung des Internets. Noch lässt sich nur erahnen, welches Ausmaß an Innovationen in allen Lebensbereichen nun möglich ist. Fest steht aber, dass wir diese technische und gesellschaftliche Revolution nur dann in unserem Sinne steuern können, wenn wir sie und ihre Pioniere kennen und verstehen.

Story
Great Britain? is a much-needed antidote to the pervading sense that Britain is going backwards rather than forwards. It is both a clear-eyed and rigorous diagnosis of the problems facing our country – a unique toxicity of huge inequality and stagnant economic growth – and a hopeful case for reclaiming a different future: by building an investment nation of good work, resilient communities and secure homes, a society in which both burdens and prosperity are shared.

Story
Australia's leading social psychologist examines our society today and asks timely and urgent questions about its future. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. Yet, none of our differences—whether based on ethnicity, politics, religion, cultural tastes and preferences, or gender—are nearly as significant as the humanity we share. Amidst our epidemics of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of entrenched poverty and ubiquitous technology, The Way We Are examines the major trends that are shaking the foundations of the Australian way of life.

Story
It took Facebook four years to reach 100 million users. ChatGPT, released in November 2022, did it in two months. The founders of the two companies behind the most advanced AIs in existence – San Francisco-based OpenAI and London-based DeepMind – started their journeys determined to solve humanity’s greatest problems. Supremacy is the astonishing, behind-the-scenes story of the battle between these two AI companies, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the dangerous direction that they’re now going in.

Story
Thanks to recent advances in AI, humans have entered a world where we are no longer the sole custodians of knowledge. A new wave of disarmingly human-like chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Bard, appear to be able to talk and reason like us - and are beginning to transform everything we do. It is vital we understand how they work. Can AI ‘think’, 'know' and ‘understand’? What are its values? Whose biases is it perpetuating? Can it lie and if so, could we tell? Does their arrival threaten our very existence?

Imagine a world where people don’t have to worry about being killed by the police. Imagine instead of armed officers there are community groups who know you and your family and who work to protect you. Imagine these local organizers working alongside hospitals and other institutions to stop cycles of violence and retaliation in your city. This is a world where stopgap, temporary fixes for violence and harm are no more. A world where we’re truly safe.
