Thanks to technological development, we have learned to live with machines that surpass us in physical strength and calculation power.

We already live in another reality. Any concept of ethics has to go through this new scenario: our relationship with intelligent machines. The appearance of advanced artificial intelligence calls into question the intellectual superiority of humans, our essence, our place in life. This extraordinary book proposes a reflection on an ethic for those new intelligent machines that will surpass us. They will make decisions for us, they will govern us. Our responsibility now is to leave you a good legacy: the human.

Thanks to technological development, we have learned to live with machines that surpass us in physical strength and calculation power. However, the appearance of artificial intelligence is a new challenge, an ethic for new times. Many people prefer not to think about this uncertain future. When their universe changes, they will try to adapt. Neither now nor later will they try to understand what is happening. It is a pity. Understanding is perhaps the greatest challenge a human can experience.
