About this listen

Written in an accessible style for all audiences, “How AI Will Shape Our Future” anchors listeners in the history and evolution of Artificial Intelligence, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of its trajectory. This equips listeners to engage more thoughtfully with the book’s central theme: What should societies expect from AI in the decades ahead?

How does AI actually function? What will its impact be on employment and education, both short-term and long-term? How will AI reshape society, the economy, government, culture, and geopolitics? What are the potential utopian and dystopian outcomes, and who will be most affected? What’s happening with China and the intensifying AI arms race? Could synthetic biology lead to human-cyborg coexistence, ultimately influencing human evolution? Most critically, what should we demand of our leaders today to prepare for AI’s inevitable advancement?

These are just some of the provocative questions explored and answered by Pedro Uria-Recio, a former McKinsey consultant and Chief AI Officer who has spent years working with this transformative technology on a global scale.

Whether you're a technologist or a homemaker, a businessperson or a student, a voter or a policymaker, or simply curious about humanity’s future, “How AI Will Shape Our Future” offers essential insights for navigating the complexities of AI.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Educational and Thought-Provoking

This book is a great way to learn about the history of AI and how it’s evolved to where we are today. It does a solid job of explaining the basics—like machine learning and robots—while also diving into more advanced topics like quantum AI and super intelligence. It’s definitely educational and helps you get a clearer idea of what AI could mean for the future. Some parts are purely speculative, but it’s interesting to think about the possibilities and kinda mind blowing.

A very thourough study on AI.

I love AI so far, and I am using it regularly. But I have always wondered where it will end. Which direction are we going with it?
I just suffered from a leg injury where I was bedbound, so I thought that now I have time to listen to this lengthy audiobook.
This book made me realize that AI is not just starting out yet; the concept started thousands of years ago. The author did his homework on this topic, and it went to places I hadn't even thought about. For example, how did they use AI in wars? It is very eye-opening and thoroughly explains everything to you. These are things that the average person has no idea about. I can highly recommend it. After reading this book, you will learn a lot and look at AI from a different perspective. Very well worth it.

A clear roadmap through the wild world of AI.

I picked up this book because AI always felt too complex, but I knew I needed to understand it. It really helped me connect the dots between all the headlines and real-life impacts. The simple explanations and real-world examples made everything click. If you’re curious about AI or worried about how it might change things like jobs and school, this is a must-read.

The Intriguing Merge of Humanity and AI

How AI Will Shape Our Future presents a compelling thesis that humans and artificial intelligence are on a path toward merging in significant ways. Throughout the 18 hours of this audiobook, Pedro Uria-Recio explores the fascinating idea that our future may not only involve coexisting with AI but also integrating it into our own species in unprecedented ways, resulting in a blend of Humanity and AI.

Will Stauff's narration enhances this exploration, making complex concepts like brain-computer interfaces and enhanced cognitive abilities feel more relatable. The discussion around how this merger could redefine what it means to be human is both intriguing and a bit unsettling, provoking thought about the ethical implications and potential benefits of such a transformation.

While the book does an excellent job of discussing this transformative potential, some segments can feel a bit drawn out, which might cause listeners to lose focus on the core message. But I have to say I loved this audio book

An extended look into the future

I was not aware of all the implications of the incorporation of AI in the age we live in. This audiobook covers all aspects of it from the philosophical/ethical to the more unsuspected applications and where we are going as humanity in relation to AI. This book blew my mind. It is quite a long book, but it is worth listening to it calmly and more than once. I'm sure it will completely change your view or idea about AI. It is a very complete work that I highly recommend.

It’s super approachable, whether you're just curious or totally tech-obsessed. If you’ve ever wondered what’s next with AI (or how close we are to a sci-fi reality), this is the guide you need.
