| Summary, Etc. |
This book shows how Artificial Intelligence (AI) 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. How do we ensure the flourishing of humankind? How do we maintain control? How do we navigate the narrow path to a successful future? This book, written by an AI insider, establishes "the containment problem" - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
