DESCRIPTION:
It marks the beginning of a new era." --Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science, University of California, Berkley "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 "This superb analysis by one of the world's clearest thinkers tackles one of humanity's greatest challenges: if future superhuman artificial intelligence becomes the biggest event in human history, then how can we ensure that it doesn't become the last?" --Professor Max Tegmark, MIT "Terribly important groundbreaking extraordinary sagacity and clarity, enabling him to combine his wide-ranging knowledge over an impressively broad spectrum of disciplines - enginee
migedy said Superintelligence Threat vs Robot Society Threat (and an Oversight Concerning NLP). Prof. Bostrom has written a book that I believe will become a classic within that subarea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) concerned with the existential dangers that could threaten humanity as the result of the development of artificial forms of intelligence.What fascinated me is that Bostrom has approached the existential danger of AI from a perspective that, although I am an AI professor, I had never really examined in any detail.When I was a . It's complicated Not surprisingly, 200+ pages later, the author can't answer the 'what is to be done' question concerning the likely emergence of non-human (machine-based) super-intelligence, sometime, possibly soon. This is expected because, as a species, we've always been the smartest ones around and never had to even think about the possibility of coexistence alongside something or someone impossibly smart and smart in ways well beyond our comprehension, poss. Mario Schlosser said Sometimes friends over a beer philosophizing, sometimes clever analogies. I love the general idea of evaluating the potential perils of artificial super intelligence, and I buy into the concept of thinking this through at an abstract level, not tied to the current state of AI algorithms in today's computer science. That's what this book does - systematically explore every branch of a pretty large decision tree around everything that could or could not happen when an artificial intelligence starts developing super-inte
If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful—possibly beyond our control. Will it be possible to construct a seed Artificial Intelligence, to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?This profoundly ambitious and original audiobook breaks down a vast track of difficult intellectual terrain. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. 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.. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on humans than on the species itself, so would the fate of humankind d
Bostrom has a background in physics, computational neuroscience, and mathematical logic as well as philosophy. He is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (Routledge, 2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (Ed., OUP, 2008), and Human Enhancement (Ed., OUP, 2009). . He previously taught at Yale, and he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of
