O knihe

The aim of the book is to argue that with the present and near-future intelligent technologies, it would be possible to reduce the use of fossil fuels and other natural resources substantially, provided that human factors and societal perspectives are appropriately addressed.. The first part of the book explains intelligent technologies in non-technical language. Topics covered include artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and sensing devices. This involves comparing human and machine intelligence to provide a realistic view of the division of labor between humans and machines. The second part of the book explains how intelligent machines could be used to reduce CO2 emissions produced in human activity through considering four technology application areas, these being, road traffic, shipping, drone deliveries and production. Technologies are, again, explained in non-technological language while the focus is on societal issues and in the division of labor between people and technology. The third final part of the book summarizes and discusses the arguments made in the first and second part by considering the concept of intelligence and, from a generic and comparative perspective, the environments in which intelligent machines may operate. Furthermore, public imagination is discussed, because – as argued in the second part of the book – societal change is necessary for enabling the positive technological transformations proposed in the book.
