Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World
In his latest book, "Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World," Nick Bostrom shifts the focus from the potential dangers of artificial intelligence explored in his previous work, "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies," to envisioning a future where AI development unfolds positively.
As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, Bostrom probes the profound philosophical and spiritual implications of a world where superintelligence is safely developed, effectively governed, and utilised for the benefit of humanity.
In this hypothetical scenario of a "solved world," where human labour becomes obsolete due to advanced AI systems, Bostrom raises existential questions about the essence of human existence and the pursuit of meaning. With the advent of technologies capable of fulfilling practical needs and desires beyond human capabilities, society would enter a state of "post-instrumentality," where the traditional purposes of human endeavour are rendered obsolete.
