"Those disposed to dismiss an 'AI takeover' as science fiction may think again after reading this original and well-argued book" - Martin Rees, Past President, Royal Society It marks the beginning of a new era" - Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science, University of California, Berkley Superintelligence charts the submerged rocks of the future with unprecedented detail. Instead of passively drifting, we need to steer a course. "Nick Bostrom makes a persuasive case that the future impact of AI is perhaps the most important issue the human race has ever faced. every paragraph has like six ideas embedded within it." - Nate Silver "I highly recommend this book" - Bill Gates "Worth reading." - Elon Musk, Founder of SpaceX and Tesla
After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time. Yet the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy. This profoundly ambitious and original book picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain. Read the book and learn about oracles, genies, singletons about boxing methods, tripwires, and mind crime about humanity's cosmic endowment and differential technological development indirect normativity, instrumental convergence, whole brain emulation and technology couplings Malthusian economics and dystopian evolution artificial intelligence, and biological cognitive enhancement, and collective intelligence. To get closer to an answer to this question, we must make our way through a fascinating landscape of topics and considerations. Will it be possible to construct a seed AI or otherwise to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation? As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species then would come to depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.īut we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack.
