The Edge of Knowledge
קצה הידיעה
Exploring the implications of developing intelligence that may be wiser than us.
The Edge of Knowledge explores the long-term implications of developing intelligence that may one day be smarter, and perhaps, even wiser than we are. It is a journey through science, vision, and human choice: from the moment an idea that sounded impossible is met with an absolute "No", to the breaking point where it becomes a boundary-moving reality.
When everyone said "No!" While many dismissed her hypothesis outright, Dr. Miri Kenig set out on a bold mission to test what others couldn't, or wouldn't, imagine: could an AI learn the laws of quantum physics on its own and function as an independent scientist? Despite overwhelming skepticism from experts, limited resources, and a wall of consensus against her, she didn't give up. Guided by a clear vision and persistent belief, she kept going until the defining moment when the model she developed proved: it works. That breakthrough became both a personal and scientific victory, earned international recognition, and, more importantly, opened a window into a new future.
Beyond the story — the bigger question
The book takes readers from the earliest attempts to demonstrate "research-capable AI" into a deeper exploration of what it could mean to create superhuman intelligence. It looks directly at the "singularity" point, the moment humanity may lose its cognitive advantage, and the questions that would follow: how we redefine humanity, intelligence, and consciousness. This is a rare glimpse into moments where science and vision collide, and into the unsettling, fascinating question at the heart of it all: what is our place in a world where a machine can think faster, deeper, and perhaps even wiser than we can?
