At the heart of the book

Not only what machines will be able to do.

The decisive question concerns the authority we will be willing to give them and the responsibilities we cannot delegate. Between naive enthusiasm and indiscriminate fear, 2050 proposes an adult form of hope: building more capable systems without making people more passive.
