Crossing time: From Darwin to the AI Revolution

Discover the epic journey of intelligence through the ages, from the origin of life on Earth to the birth of artificial minds. This book takes you on a unique intellectual journey, crossing time to connect two pivotal points in the history of existence: the theory that cracked the code of biological evolution, and the revolution that is reshaping our future. "Crossing Time" is a historical survey and in-depth analysis that connects the mysteries of nature and the enigmas of technology. You'll discover how the principles that guided the evolution of living organisms, from the simplest cells to the human mind, are the same ones that govern the emergence and development of artificial intelligence today. From Darwin's theories and how they transformed our understanding of life, to the contributions of brilliant minds like Alan Turing that launched the computing age, you'll discover how every step in the past led us to the amazing present we live in. This book is essential for anyone who wants to understand: • Common origins: How the laws of biological and technological evolution are not mutually exclusive. • Quantum leaps: The decisive moments that shaped the trajectory of intelligence, from the human "child" to the artificial "giant." • Our Common Future: How what we know about the past can help us predict the future of intelligence and consciousness in an era where developments are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Are you ready to step back in time and understand how it all began and where we're going?
