The first part of the book looks at the origin of intelligence billions of years ago and goes on to project the future development of intelligence. The book focuses on "Life 3.0", and on emerging technology such as artificial general intelligence that may someday, in addition to being able to learn, be able to also redesign its own hardware and internal structure. Tegmark refers to different stages of human life since its inception: Life 1.0 referring to biological origins, Life 2.0 referring to cultural developments in humanity, and Life 3.0 referring to the technological age of humans. The book begins by positing a scenario in which AI has exceeded human intelligence and become pervasive in society. The book discusses a variety of societal implications, what can be done to maximize the chances of a positive outcome, and potential futures for humanity, technology and combinations thereof. Life 3.0 discusses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on the future of life on Earth and beyond. Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence is a 2017 book by Swedish-American cosmologist Max Tegmark
