Recommendation
Ancient Greek mythology has long provided moral and ethical lessons for people, but according to author and researcher Adrienne Mayor, today’s leaders in biotechnology and artificial intelligence pursuits should take a particular interest in the legends. Mayor, through the Greek myths, shows the ethical and moral consequences of human’s never-ending quest for immortality – a timely message as society ramps ups its Herculean efforts to achieve artificial intelligence. getAbstract recommends Mayor’s thesis to biotech enthusiasts, mythology buffs and those interested in ethical dilemmas.
