While expressing hope for humanity's survival, they caution that reliance on AI to self-regulate is not a viable strategy.

In the section titled 'Coevolution: Artificial Humans,' they urge society to consider its role as AI becomes a dominant force.

Published on November 19, 2024, 'Genesis' is described as Henry Kissinger's 'last book' following his death at age 100 in 2023.

Co-authored by Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, and Craig Mundie, the book warns that humanity may need to relinquish control of Earth due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

The authors stress the importance of aligning AI with human values, cautioning against allowing any artificial general intelligence to surpass human intellect without proper alignment.

They express concerns that AI is already exceeding human capabilities, suggesting that humans might need to biologically engineer themselves to keep pace.

However, they warn against creating a hereditary genetic line of genetically enhanced individuals, as this could lead to a divided human race with unequal capabilities.

The authors highlight the moral and evolutionary risks associated with altering human genetics for superhuman traits, suggesting that such changes could create dependence on AI.

Instead of making humans more machine-like, they advocate for machines to be designed to be more human-like, raising ethical dilemmas about which human values to prioritize.

They emphasize that no single culture should impose its moral framework on AI, necessitating machines to learn diverse moral and legal codes across different societies.

The authors acknowledge the complexity of ensuring machines adhere to a moral code, suggesting that such challenges will be greater than technical difficulties.

The book discusses current initiatives to integrate humans with machines, such as brain-computer interfaces, which the U.S. military deems critically important.
