Artificial Intelligence for Humanity - Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control

Artificial Intelligence for Humanity - Artificial Intelligence and the Control Problem Book Description Everyone is saying something about artificial intelligence, which has become very popular lately. In many cases, what we can do with artificial intelligence is exaggerated or the real risks of the technology are ignored. On the other hand, some horrific narratives cause social hysteria. So, what does artificial intelligence actually promise to people? At the same time, what risks does it pose? These two questions are vitally important for humanity. Provided they are answered correctly, of course. Can artificial intelligence make the statement "Big Brother is watching you" in the 1984 book come true? Or the most popular question: Is AI in itself an existential threat to humanity? And the most important question: What solutions can we produce against all these threats that come with opportunities? Stuart Russell, one of the authorities whose thoughts on artificial intelligence are considered very valuable, answers all these questions - and many more - in his book Artificial Intelligence for Humanity (Human Compatible) with explanations that everyone can understand but are also technically sufficient. “The most important book I have read in a long time. It clearly explains how the coming era of super artificial intelligence threatens humanity. It also offers a new solution and a reason for hope.”—Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner and author of Thinking Fast and Slow “A must-read: This intellectual tour de force from one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence explores the risks of ever-more powerful AI.” “Not only does it explain in a fascinating and convincing way, it also offers concrete and promising solutions.”—Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0 “This beautifully written book addresses a fundamental challenge for humanity... A must-read if you care about our future a work.”—Yoshua Bengio, author of Deep Learning “No researcher has spoken more convincingly about the risks of artificial intelligence or shown the path more clearly. Anyone who takes the future seriously should pay attention to this.”—Brian Christian, author of Algorithms in Our Lives “The most important book about artificial intelligence of the year.”—The Guardian “A chilling warning from an artificial intelligence expert... Fascinating and meaningful... Russell, consciousness It doesn't warn of the dangers of winning machines, just how super-intelligent machines can be abused.”—The Times “A detailed and brilliant history of artificial intelligence.”—The Telegraph (From the Promotional Bulletin)
