"We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our
species. Everything is about to change.

"Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organize your
life, operate your business, and run core government services.
You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers,
engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants
and abundant energy.

"None of us are prepared.

"As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of
Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the center of this
revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by
this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.

"In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will
create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state,
the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments
sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma:
unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing
surveillance on the other.

"Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?
Is it possible to contain the threat of AI?

"This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider
establishes "the containment problem" - the task of maintaining
control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge
of our age.

Hello Mickey!

The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first
Century's Greatest Dilemma | Hardcover

Mustafa Suleyman | Michael Bhaskar

Just ordered this one. Might be interesting reading by the fire.

Hope it delivers what it promises:

"It explores the existential dangers that AI and biotechnology
pose to humankind, and offers practical solutions for how we
can contain the threat."

"A fascinating book on Artificial Intelligence, the good, the
bad , the ugly sides of AI, it's enormous benefits but not
without peril is the theme of this book."

It will be interesting to compare it with the message in this
fine book:

the Way We Do | Paperback

It covers the history of AI development, and describes very
clearly what AI cannot not become despite the hype, investments
and expectations.
