Superintelligence
Paths, Dangers, Strategies
Nick Bostrom
"Superintelligence" explores the possible future where machines surpass human intelligence and asks whether they will save or destroy us. Nick Bostrom lays out the foundation for understanding the fate of humanity and the implications of creating a powerful superintelligence beyond our control. As we hold the power to make the first move, can we engineer a controlled detonation? This profoundly ambitious and original book breaks down difficult intellectual terrain and offers a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

Worth reading Superintelligence by Bostrom. We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes. – source2015-07-08T00:00:00.000Z
There’s another work of philosophy here. Sort of philosophy/science that I’ve been greatly influenced by of late.The philosopher, Nick Bostrom, wrote a book called “Superintelligence,” which has impressed many people for the thoroughness with which he has argued that we have a serious problem looming with respect to the birth of intelligent machines. – source2014-08-02T19:33:24.000Z

@_BarringtonII The books 'Human compatible' by Stuart Russell, 'The alignment problem' by @brianchristian, and 'Superintelligence' by Nick Bostrom are excellent.
Probably best read in that order (from least technical to most technical). – source
