Book Synopsis

Over a very short period, a rapid and tumultuous technological transformation of our societies has triggered a self-exploratory public debate about what it means to be human, our potential, powers and place in the modern world. Are humans really just âœoutdated softwareâ in dire need of a technological fix? Will a culture of machines out-compete a culture of humanity? In this thought-provoking book, Gry Hasselbalch invites readers to reconsider the relationship between humans and AI machines.

Exploring the distinctiveness of human power, the book addresses current debates about technology that portray humans as powerless and flawed, examining how and why human power must remain central in discussions about AI and technology. It sets out seven key traits which set humans apart from machines: Creativity, Intuition, Emotion, Life, Defiance, Love & Compassion, and Wisdom. Drawing on examples from across arts, literature, film, music as well as interviews with artists, music
