\"\"Who knew?<\/p>\n

Henry Kissinger, age 97, has written a new book. One of his two co-authors is former Google chief Eric Schmidt.<\/p>\n

Little, Brown has\u00a0\u201cThe Age of A.I.: And our Human Future\u201d<\/a>\u00a0set for a November release.<\/p>\n

But very quietly, the book was panned back in June in Publishers Weekly. It\u2019s not a good sign.<\/p>\n

PW wrote: \u201cWhile they raise thought-provoking questions about the implications of AI on geopolitics (notably as European nations debate whether to use U.S. or Chinese platforms), their musings on the impact AI has and will have on humans\u2019 daily lives feel cursory. The authors also rely on familiar examples of AI success stories\u2014AlphaZero, a chess-playing machine, and halicin, an AI-generated antibiotic, come up time and time again. Despite the work\u2019s brief moments of insight and the authors\u2019 bona fides, there isn\u2019t much to recommend this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently the book is number\u00a0843,499 with little advance promotion or sales. The PW review doesn\u2019t help.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Age of A.I.\u201d started out as an article two summers ago in\u00a0The Atlantic<\/a>\u00a0called \u201cMetamorphosis.\u201d So at least the authors are guaranteed a decent review in that magazine when the book is published!<\/p>\n

Little, Brown might want to change the title of the Kissinger-Schmidt book, by the way. There are a ton of other previously published books, articles, TV shows, and so on with the same name. Just sayin\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n
