Doubt and Certainty in Science in which he said that we create tools and we mold ourselves through our use of them. The other text he recommended was Warren Weaver and Claude Shannon’s 1949 paper “Recent Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Communication,” which begins: “The word communication will be use

at our door.” In the wake of advances in unsupervised, self-improving machine learning, a small but influential community of thinkers is considering Wiener’s words again. In Deep Thinking, John Brockman gathers their disparate visions of where AI might be taking us. The fruit of the long history of Broc
