Liu Cixin, the acclaimed science fiction writer, has written the preface for Intelligence Revolution.

Liu thinks that there are two possibilities of how human society will embrace the age of AI.

First, it may not adapt itself quickly to the wide use of AI, causing all kinds of social, economic and political problems.

"The world will be troubled by the waves of unemployment and the endless conflicts ensued," he writes in the preface.

Second, people make a successful transition, and it will be the biggest change ever in people's lives.
