David Mindell: "The Rise of Machines Is Canceled! Myths About Robotization"
In a world where drones patrol the skies, autonomous submarines explore ocean trenches, and pilots rely on autopilot, the line between human and machine control seems to blur. But has the future truly arrived, or are we misreading our relationship with robots?
Professor David Mindell of MIT, with over two decades in robotics and ocean engineering, argues that autonomy and artificial intelligence are not the threats we imagine. The connection between humans and robots, he contends, is far more intimate and interdependent than the rigid boundaries we draw between manual and automated control.
Mindell takes readers on a journey to the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea in search of ancient pottery, to the wreck of the Titanic, and into the cockpit of an aircraft to reveal why pilots still need a head-up display. He explores why Neil Armstrong chose manual landing on the Moon rather than relying on automatic systems.
This book is for anyone fascinated by aircraft, spacecraft, submarines, and robots, and for those curious about how technology truly shapes our world. It challenges the myth of full automation and celebrates the enduring partnership between human skill and machine capability.
