A fantastic accounting of the possible manifestations of the incoming AI revolution, which is more hopeful than hyperbolic. Provides foundational context for those of us not already embroiled in the debate and continues with insightful and altruistic recommendations for our approach as a species.

Книга відомого експерта з ШІ та професора Каліфорнійського університету в Берклі

Усе, що може запропонувати цивілізація, є продуктом нашого інтелекту; отримання доступу до значно потужнішого інтелекту було б найбільшою подією в історії людства. Мета книги — пояснити, чому це може бути остання подія в історії людства і як переконатися, щоб це було не так.

Три принципи, які мають бути закладені при створенні «правильного ШІ»:
1. The robot's only objective is to maximize the realization of human values.
2. The robot is initially uncertain about what those values are.
3. Human behavior provides information about human values.

Probably the best intro to AI book of all the AI books I’ve read. This hits on all the main points at a surface level for anyone to understand.

I think the proposed solutions to AI challenges were interesting, but unconvincing. But that also wasn’t the point for the book.

All in all a worrying description of why we shouldn't be trying to develop general purpose AI machines at all in my opinion. Given the multitude of considerations discussed and the almost infinite "what ifs", I can't see how he can envisage his end game being realised in only another generation. I just hope he is wrong.
