Description
This influential examination of artificial intelligence explores what might happen if machine intelligence surpasses human reasoning and becomes capable of transforming the world on an unprecedented scale. It considers possible routes to superintelligence—including whole-brain emulation, enhanced collective intelligence, and advanced AI—while assessing the strategic, economic, and ethical challenges each path presents. Through concepts such as intelligence explosions, instrumental convergence, AI containment, and the control problem, the book asks how humanity might preserve its values and influence in a future shaped by machines. Rigorous yet accessible, it is a landmark work on the opportunities, dangers, and long-term stakes of creating minds more powerful than our own.
