Space Japan Book Review (in English) James Barrat: gOur Final Invention Artificial Intelligence and the End of Human Erah, Thomas Dunne Books, 2013 Dr. Takashi Iida, Editorial Advisor of Space Japan Review This column in the previous issue of Space Japan Review introduced the book about the high speed transaction of stock exchange. At that time, I, the reviewer, would like to review the activity of artificial intelligence (AI) in this field. But I would like to review this book since I am interested in learning the AI itself before that. As the cover of this book is in a mono-tone, it is impressed to be quiet. But the title of this book is very exciting. Although this book does not fan the exciting, there is a risk that mankind would be destroyed, if AI evolves. I understood that it warned anymore it was too late when we noticed it. The satellite communication seems not to concern to the AI, but AI is a basic technology for be applied to any field. I think that this book is appropriate to be taken in this column. However, as I am a layman in AI, it will be difficult to give good description for a whole matters. I would like to challenge as far as possible. This book review will include the reviewerfs personal opinion. It is based on Japanese translation version of this book.
