Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom (Paperback)

What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? In this influential book, philosopher Nick Bostrom examines the possible paths to superintelligent AI, the risks it could pose to humanity, and the strategies we might use to keep it under control.

Bostrom explores questions that have since moved to the center of public debate: how fast an intelligence explosion could happen, why a powerful AI might pursue goals harmful to us, and how we could design systems whose values align with our own. Rigorous yet engaging, this Oxford paperback is essential reading for anyone interested in technology, ethics and the future.
