Publisher's Summary
Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on humans than on the species itself, so would the fate of humankind depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.
But we have one advantage: We get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed Artificial Intelligence, to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?
This profoundly ambitious and original book breaks down a vast track of difficult intellectual terrain. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

Good AI trajectory ideas
Ideas are thought provoking but some of them seem out of place. Good book for casual reading but if you are looking to learn about progress in AI then avoid. It is like time machine by H G Wells for AI.

Probably the most important book of our time!!
Language is a bit difficult for the uninitiated but the thought is extremely important. Must read for existential reasons.

over rated book
first the book is way too long. Second again the same cry that robots will take over. But the author also doesn't have any evidence. He also know, we don't have any technology like this for the next 100 years.

Narrator can make u sleep
The content is thought provoking, if you're fascinated by Ai. But narrator makes things dead.
