Bostrom's Superintelligence

Nick Bostrom’s "Superintelligence" explores the idea that future artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence in all areas, potentially transforming society. He examines how such superintelligent AI might develop its own goals, which could differ from human interests, raising concerns about controlling or aligning its actions. The book emphasizes the importance of carefully planning and implementing safety measures now, to ensure that superintelligent AI benefits humanity rather than causing harm. It highlights the urgency and complexity of managing this powerful technology responsibly, aiming to prevent scenarios where AI’s rapid self-improvement poses existential risks.
