Imagine a world where parents order their baby?s eye color and IQ off a menu, and then doctors reach into their embryos? DNA ?to program their destinies. Famed computer scientist Astro Teller has imagined this future, and he sees the HORROR of eugenics: X-Men and a planet entirely populated by the sort of kids who beat him up in middle school, all rolled into one. His wife thinks he?s full of crap. Danielle Teller is a brilliant physician-scientist who understands that the REAL THREAT to humanity is artificial intelligence. Humans are creating super intelligent computers that will eventually destroy us all, no matter what sort of Asimovian instructions we try to give them. Watch the Tellers duke it out over the biggest threat to humankind in Superbabies vs A.I.!
