Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach


Features

  • Defines the field of AI Safety Engineering, which is at the intersection of computer security and AI
  • Serves as a reference text for the theory of AI-Completeness
  • Presents a reference for the AI Confinement Problem and associated communication protocol
  • Provides a comprehensive survey of solutions historically proposed to control AI systems
  • Introduces the reader to Superintelligent AI and defines concepts necessary to formalize its study

Summary

This book is designed to become a foundational text for the new science of AI Safety Engineering. While specific predictions regarding the consequences of an intelligence singularity are varied from potential economic hardship to the complete extinction of humankind, many of the involved researchers agree that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed. The book directly addresses this issue and consolidates research aimed at making sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity.

Review

"A robust combination of the hot topic that seems to have come straight from science fiction with its vigorous academic analysis pursued by the author produced an awesome textbook that should attract everyone’s attention: from high school to graduate school students to professionals."
—Leon Reznik, Professor of Computer Science, Rochester Institute of Technology
