It has become part of us, and we, it. Humans and intelligent machines, he argues, are enmeshed in a symbiotic hybrid that he calls a ‚Äúcybernetic society.‚Äù Husain describes a present and future where AI isn‚Äôt a tool of humans but our equal partner, one where they can realize their own visions of the world. There is great potential and danger: Saudi Arabia‚Äôs Neom‚Äîa ‚Äúcognitive city‚Äù being built in inhospitable desert‚Äîshows how this symbiosis can make life possible where otherwise, it is not. But the profusion of intelligent military drones is making mass destruction possible where otherwise, it is not.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As engrossing as it is urgent, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Cybernetic Society\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers a new understanding of this revolutionary fusion of machine and mankind, and its profound implications for all our futures.
