But does Siri really want to kill us? Perhaps we are falling into the trap of projecting human traits onto the machines we might build. In \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eNeuman offers a surprisingly positive vision in which computational intelligence compensates for the well-recognized limits of human judgment, improves decision making, and actually increases our agency. In artful, accessible, and adventurous prose, Neuman takes the reader on an exciting, fast-paced ride, all the while making a convincing case about a revolution in computationally augmented human intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeuman argues that, just as the wheel made us mobile and machines made us stronger, the migration of artificial intelligence from room-sized computers to laptops to our watches, smart glasses, and even smart contact lenses will transform day-to-day human decision making. If intelligence is the capacity to match means with ends, then augmented intelligence can offer the ability to adapt to changing environments as we face the ultimate challenge of long-term survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTapping into a global interest in technology’s potential impacts on society, economics, and culture, \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Intelligence \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that our future depends on our ability to computationally compensate for the limitations of a human cognitive system that has only recently graduated from hunting and gathering.Prologue vii\u003cbr\u003e1 Evolutionary Intelligence 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Communication Like Never Before--How Would EI Actually Work? 25\u003cbr\u003e3 The Hard Part--Compensating for Human Cognitive Bias 45\u003cbr\u003e4 Here Be Dragons 87\u003cbr\u003e5 Evolutionary Intelligence in Historical Perspective 121\u003cbr\u003e6 Evolutionary Intelligence Is Already Here 141\u003cbr\u003e7 Putting Evolutionary Intelligence to Work--Some Brief Case Studies 177\u003cbr\u003e8 Next Steps 193\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 211\u003cbr\u003eNotes 213\u003cbr\u003eIndex 225“Coming precisely at the right moment, \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e shows how humans can use technology to extend our intelligence, not in isolation, but to create a more human world.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—John Markoff, author of \u003ci\u003eMachines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground between Humans and Robots\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“This volume provides a persuasive and refreshing argument for the continued coexistence of humans and their machines.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Professor, Department of Communication, University of Copenhagen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Evolutionary Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e enables a great escape of humans into a convergence of intelligent minds and tools in freedom.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—George Gilder, Cofounder, Discovery Institute; Senior Fellow, Center on Wealth, Poverty, and Morality; Director, Technology and Democracy Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Neuman makes the muscular argument for working towards evolutionary intelligence rather than artificial intelligence.  This means treating the introduction of machine learning systems as opportunities to overcome our inherited cognitive biases, to expand our ability to perceive, and to extend our capacity to empathize.”\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Philip N.
