Dr. Kevin Warwick warns us that robots and machine intelligence pose an enormous threat to mankind. He is deeply critical of techniques used to measure human intelligence, in particular IQ tests.

Challenging and controversial, QI will stimulate widespread argument and discussion. Brings ideas on intelligence up to date and aligns them with the world in which we now live. Overturns much current thinking on intelligence of humans, animals and machines. Reveals how IQ testing has been misused in the past, including how the US used low IQ scores as a basis for 'voluntary' sterilisation and rejection of refugees from Nazism. Examines the intelligence of animals, machines and robots, and considers how they are more intelligent than humans and the effect that this might have
