VIrtua

When psychologist Daniel unexpectedly gets a job at the Berlin subsidiary of Mental Systems, he’s excited. But he soon finds out that behind the friendly facade, there’s enormous pressure because the company is in a global race for the development of the first artificial general intelligence. With their amazing new AI Virtua, they seem to be in the lead. But some are concerned that an AI smarter than humans cannot be trusted …

Written by German bestselling author and AI expert Karl Olsberg, VIRTUA is a frighteningly realistic description of how modern AI could get out of control and threaten our future. In an epilogue, Olsberg explains in detail how close we already are to this scenario with current AIs like ChatGPT and GPT-4.
