Description
Artificial intelligence is presented as the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. The race to create superhuman AI has put the world on a path to extinction, but the authors argue that it is still possible to change course. Pioneering AI researchers Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares explain why artificial superintelligence could be a global suicide bomb and call for an immediate halt to its development. Although the technology is complex, they say the essential facts are simple: companies and countries are competing to build machines smarter than any person, while the world is dangerously unprepared for what follows. The book asks how machine superintelligence could eliminate the human species, whether it would want to do so, and whether it would want anything at all. Yudkowsky and Soares examine the theory and evidence, describe one possible extinction scenario and explain what humanity would need to do to survive.
